March 22 2016 Greetings My Friend I knew I would be challenged but I did not care because it was worth it. For our anniversary we went to Jonesboro overnight. I shopped, climbed stairs and walked until I could no longer go anymore. I was tired and at the same time I could not sleep. I was excited from the fun we had and the things I got. I finally pulled out my coloring book and colored until I relaxed. It worked, 4 hours later I woke up and started running again. We headed towards home with a stop at Verizon for an upgrade on my phone. Several hours later I left with the phone and a new tablet. The plan is I no longer will need a laptop. The sales clerk was sure I could do all my tasks on both my phone and tablet and as an added bonus a Verizon connection is built in so finding a connection should not be a problem when I am out of town. The minute I walked in the house I started downloading the apps I wanted to use. Once more I was so excited and getting to sleep was impossible again. I found a coloring app which is the first game app I have used and stayed with. This app calmed me down too. The sales clerk downloaded my Bible study app too because only my laptop could get the study I like and now I have it on all my devices. I am writing on my new tablet with the hope I will be able to post easier on all my accounts. The sales clerk showed me how to increase the size of the fonts and the keyboard. I thought I would use the keyboard like a typewriter since that is how I learned to type. Instead I am learning how to use my thumbs like I saw my son do. I am getting quicker doing it this way. I love meeting my brain again and learning something new. I see the progress I am making since I retired and began my decline in my health. It has been a lot of work and there were times giving up seemed easier. God showed me He had other things in store for me. God knows how much I love to learn so He has been challenging me to push myself along with guiding me with ways to get better. Today I am grateful for God's insistence to push on. I know that I have a lot of growing to do and times that I will want to give up. I am encouraged to keep going because I won't be alone. May God. you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
