I am getting old.
How do I know this? Technology drives me insane. I fought for hours trying to figure out how to change the font in the e-mail updates from this blog. They were in this hard to read brownish color and had shrunken to about 3 point type. I could find no way to alter how the e-mail updates looked. I finally gave up and changed the whole layout of the blog in an attempt to fix it. I won't know what they look like until this post comes to my own inbox. If it is in a hard to read brownish 3 point type, I will age another three years. My hair is turning grayer just thinking about it.
How else do I know I am getting old? Social media makes me want to jab a knitting needle into my eye. (Okay I don't knit, but you know what I mean.) See? I'm like an old crotchety Grandma yelling at the kids about rock and roll. I am now on Empire Avenue (totally clueless about that one), Facebook - business and personal, LinkedIn - my profile and FireStar Speaking's profile, Twitter, this blog and another one called The Spark, have a YouTube Channel, and still have a MySpace page somewhere. Oh and Google Plus - personal and business. Not to mention SpeakerMatch, eSpeakers, and other speaking directories. Pinterest, FourSquare, Flickr - I feel my wrinkles deepening. How about speaking, my actual job? When should I do that?
And the final way I know I'm getting old?
I'm going to be on the cover of Arthritis Today magazine. Not Elle, not Glamour, not Health, not Fortune......Arthritis Today. I am, for the month of May anyway, going to be the poster child (woman) for arthritis.
But you know what? I'm good with it. Getting to be on the cover of a national magazine is a WAY cool honor. And getting old is not a bad thing - check out Betty White. You can fight it (ala Demi) or ride it for all it's worth (like Betty). I say, "yehaw!"
I just hope the font is better on the e-mail update.

Ah... but arthitis has never looked so good :)
Well, was it? LOL. And I had no idea you had another blog. Where can I find it? Is there a link on this page I have totally missed somewhere? LOL.
AIIEE!!! After all that - no! The font is still tiny and brownish! (I feel the wrinkles deepening!!) The other blog is called the Spark, but it's a work in progress. The best stuff is here. Thanks for asking (love the pic, btw!).
Diane, You are so sweet!!!!!!
Ahhh, darn, sorry it didn't work! Thanks, that picture was taken at our great-niece's birthday party. She had birthday hats and I was one of the chosen few who got to wear it. Probably because she knew that I actually would. LOL!
