Life in Real Time…are you playing with a new app?


I now have a new iPad…it seems my digital life has taken a hit because of things that are beyond my control. Since last….well since me husband passed away in December 2021, I have been trying out a new life. Like most things in life, this stage is not easy either. 

First, you need to realize that half my brain is gone because my husband and I were married for 61 years. We finished each other’s sentences, interrupted stories with editing and footnotes. What I didn’t know he did and visa versa. 

Honestly, the biggest question in my mind is now how is…long will it take to recover…or will I ever. "

Back at the ranch, I am just going on without feeling-simply numb. That being said, please know that I am happy. The face you see is not put on for outward appearances. The smile is real and my interest in you is genuine…my family can find my attitude a bit annoying. It has not been easy for them. They loved their father as much as I did. We just cope differently.

Learning new things keeps me mentally healthy I think so I am very interested in what other people read or what they are doing that is new online.  

I have a couple of new apps I have been learning and using. Notability is a note taking app that holds so much promise…I get a little frustrated but for me that is a good thing. Stubbornness kicks in right away,

I have also restarted with Duolingo. I play with this language tutorial app and now have a joint account with my family. They are sharing with me and I am grateful for that. I am a sucker for computer apps. You can now practice 30+ different languages, I practice Spanish. It really is fun.

Those are things that fill my day…well, in addition to my English flower garden, cooking, reading, the daily upkeep and design of my home, friends and family. And my iPad or computer.

Life is good. 

Please take note that life does go on. It stops for no man or woman. I only allow a little time for being down hearted.

I am fishing for new stuff. What new apps are you using in real time?
