Old Dogs

My, oh my, am I the only one who gets scared, wanting to run, when something new comes along in the electronic world?  Here's what happened. I was sent some official forms that needed to be signed electronically. I found myself procrastinating, simply out of fear. I had all sorts of thoughts running through my head and the mountain of fear got huger and huger.  

Then one day the phone rang.  It was my "savior", the gentleman who had sent the forms.  No shame, no embarrassment, no teasing.  He understood completely my frame of mind then told me about himself and his own brother who had the same fears. Both of them are my age, which brings into play trying to "teach old dogs new tricks!" 

Everything was explained in the body of his letter which didn't help me because I would have to close the letter out in order to go forward but knowing I must write stuff down in order to follow directions, this worked! It was my direction sheet.

Yes, signing three documents really only took about 10 minutes and now I wonder why this task was enough to nearly tip my up-side-down?  Sometimes it's not logical but the neat thing was that I didn't have to do it alone.

Yes, it's true, old dogs take a bit longer to learn new tricks but I didn't have to learn it alone. I had someone who was very patient, understanding, kind and gentle. It worked. Have you ever felt like an old dog learning a new trick?  Who has been there to help you during those times?
