			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For two days I have been studying a new software program.<img src="http://www.pamelabowman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/glat.jpg" alt="glat" title="glat" width="117" height="114" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-573" /><br />
Two days.<br />
I read, then practice, then sigh, then reread. Then try again.<br />
I am on page 36.<br />
I don’t think I register any more on the learning curve.<br />
I have flat lined.</p>
<p>A few years ago I started taking classes to re-educate myself. I had been out of the country for 17 years and I fell way behind! My first week of class I realized I was in trouble. I came home and studied. And I cried… a lot!</p>
<p>But I Persevered.  I received A&#8217;s in my class. I earned them, but more important I learned! I know. It&#8217;s an amazing concept. </p>
<p>This over 50 age bracket is tough. It can be daunting. Those kids, my kids, are so quick! But, I know something&#8230; actually I know many things they do not&#8230;. and I ain&#8217;t telling. It really would be a waste of time and breath. And I get shortness of breath now-a-days. So why bother. I&#8217;m not hitting my head against any more of those walls! </p>
<p>For today, all I know is I got through page 36, chapter 4. It took me two days, but It felt good. I learned. I self taught.  I don’t know why that makes me happy, but it does.<img src="http://www.pamelabowman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/paddles.jpg" alt="paddles" title="paddles" width="143" height="107" class="alignright size-full wp-image-575" /></p>
<p>Yep, there’s a blip on the monitor.<br />
No need to defibrillate&#8230; yet. </p>
