Habits

I finally got past the avatar issue. I still can't see the buttons but was able to upload the avatar by clicking on the suggestion screens on the avatar home page. One day I was "playing" with it hoping for inspiration and an item about what to do with your avatar was available. I still wish I could figure out why the whole page doesn't load, but at least I am not stalled with the assignment. Now to catch up on some other assignment issues:

The easiest of the habits for me is confidence. I owe it to my dad. He always said I could do anything if I tried hard enough. I believed him, and although I struggle with technology sometimes, I know I can figure it out eventually. Since I grew up in the '50s and '60s, I appreciate that my dad encouraged me to do things. Many of my peers were programmed to just be mothers. While that is still the best thing I have ever done, I am fortunate to be able to help support them and encourage them in the same way.

The hardest habit for me is to remind myself that problems need to be viewed as a challenge, not a dead end. It is so frustrating to want everything to be "right" the first time that sometimes the inertia to try something even if I do it the hard way is still a learning experience.
