The story has stuck with me for months and was the seed for me hiring a computer coach. Whew! 10,000 times is overwhelming...but if mastery is needed/demanded or a strong will exists, I believe we are capable of just about anything. Thank you again for your comments, continual support, and love.

Unfortunately the wedding was in California and you were in Arkansas, but all of us hoped my detailed descriptions and our many pictures helped you experience the wedding. The bride, who may be one of the most beautifully organized and detail-oriented people on this earth, also helped you experience it via the "silver Nordstrom box". What a great topic for blog. Details, details!! For me, they can be a scourge! I do not feel I am detail-oriented. My thinking can be creative which can be good but I remember being called on the carpet by my parents when my thinking became too creative. Not paying attention to details seemed to signify a lack of common sense or the old bromide "you do not apply yourself". Yet I occasionally make lists! My job required a lot of detailed thinking and planning. It is such a fascinating topic and thank you for opening it up. I read the surgeon's article with great interest, too. I once read somewhere that you do not get really good at something until you do it 10,000 times! Food for thought. Thanks for a great read and a thought-provoking blog that would be valuable for teachers and just about anyone else on this earth! Mary AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
