This is an apology to the subscribers of this blog. I have been doing this blog for a year and a half and I am still learning how to manage it. When I checked the last post, I found that it had been repeated. I still do not know how it happened; but good came out of it.

I did not panic over the mistake. I prayed and thought, “All right, I’ll wade in and see if I can change part of the post.” I did it! And I learned a lot about my ‘dash board’, an area where one can do a multitude of things to a blog.

I was flying high, not only because I accomplished what I set out to do but also because this perfectionist had changed. In times past, faced with a mistake, if it did not involve a person, I may have given up on correcting it and/or become depressed and mentally whipped myself for weeks for being such a blunderer.

My joy foundered momentarily when my husband read the new post and said, “Marg, it was good; but I’m not going to read it again.”

I countered with, “What do you mean?”

Offering his Kindle to me, he said, “Look, the post is repeated.”

I was dumbfounded. I fixed the post and checked that the offending portion was deleted. Then I realized what had happened. The repetitive post went out to subscribers before I had worked on it. So, sorry!

But, the silver lining is that I found out that my worry quotient is getting very low. I must be following the advice of that well-known sage, Sandra Bullock – I saw her on TV giving a commencement address. She advised graduates to stop worrying. It is a waste of time. We don’t remember our times of worry. We remember our times of joy.

And I have plenty of those with which to fill my mind. I hoped that you do also.
