Trying Counts

Change can be a good thing ... but not always. Some things do not change/adapt well. I am one of those things. I admit it freely.  I am not always good with change or adapting.  I keep working on it.  The questions I am thinking about today are what happens if something cannot adapt to change?  Does that something just disappear? Should it? What all do I need to learn to function well in today's world? How do I manage? Where can I find help with all the new ways -- not just technology -- with change in general?

Changes. When was the last time you saw a Blockbuster Video, a Nokia phone, a Radio Shack?  Do you miss a paper folded map?  Do you even know where your camera is?  Ever wonder what people did with all their old encyclopedias?  Do you have/use a landline? When did all the phone booths disappear? Do you remember life without Apps?  "Stupid" TVs?  Studebakers? Do you have enough old newspaper to start a fire in a fireplace? Bet you can think of a lot more than these. Failure to adapt in many cases appears to be dangerous to survival.  We need to keep moving forward  in a positive direction. We need to cope with change and plot our future with care. Have to emphasize that.  We need to be especially careful and keep on trying. Noone wants to be put into the recycling bin or on a dusty shelf.

Here's the thing -- please think about these things as we get closer to November elections.  We need to adapt thoughtfully and carefully to our fast changing world. We need to move forward ... to keep on moving in a positive direction.   At the same time, we need to maintain control over our own lives, not hand them over to those who wish to control us and keep us in our place. We need to continue to support a government that puts us first -  not one that seeks power to make themselves rich and powerful as so many have at our expense.  Check out the exposure of recent fraud throughout the country that is now coming to light. It's everywhere. The swamp is draining.

We need to pay attention in each step we take. Please find someone running for office who has definite goals and a plan to reach those goals.Please find candidates who know how to cope with a fast changing world and how to make it a safer place for us and future generations. Please don't vote for someone whose focus is whining, criticizing and hating.  We need strength and a knowledgeable team at every level of government.  We do not need dancing frogs.

Keep on trying.  I tell myself this every day as I struggle to keep up with technological stuff (and the world in general).  I am so not good at it, but I keep trying.  Trying counts. Always.
