Settled on the other blog
I updated the header, finally "layout" is working here on blogger.
I also got my first email from Blogger about having too many movies on it. But when I followed the weird Google instructions, I think it was trying to download all my blogs, not just the movies. So I cancelled that!
They can toss the old movies, most of which I didn't even realize were there.
I'm happy working with the Durango blog for now. And even though I learned the new app (Feedly) and loaded all my blogs I follow, I find they are still not updated, anywhere anymore. Sigh. So if I haven't commented, it may be because I haven't seen your blog lately...even though you just posted.
Coping.
That's what my friend Helen said my super power is.
Mmm.

I hope you'll visit Life in Durango sometime. I've been feeling much better (cooler weather?) and am going to have something besides photos from my windows in the apartment to share soon!

What work habits, what discipline, would allow me to best pour love into this work? If I can do that, everything else will fall into place. More than anything else, to do a work of love, you need to love yourself. You need to be constantly checking in. “Am I taking care of myself?”, “Am I treating myself and my time with respect and care? Am I gentle with myself?”, “Am I avoiding what I need to avoid in order to focus?” Much of this boils down to self-discipline. Discipline to avoid distractions, discipline to put time and thought into a work, but also discipline to take time off. To set the work aside so that it can percolate, rumble around inside you until it is ready to manifest. - Heron Dance

I’m over on my new blog
I was unable to log into the "layout" functions this morning. No more gadgets enabling me to change my header photo, or list of blogs I follow, even if they weren't kept up to date.
I am sad.

A human being would certainly not grow to be seventy or eighty years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life's morning. —Carl Jung

Is this the last day to blog?
Then there is the demise of Blogger.
Let's think seriously of options if and when it is no longer updated, when more and more glitches happen.
As Tom says, "You get what you pay for."
Though I answered "The best things in life are free."
The truth of the matter is that Google is focused elsewhere. The Blogger program is kept alive by mostly seniors, according to my grandchildren who twitter or instagram...they don't even FaceBook any more.
So here this 84 year old sits wondering how the 80 some odd (no you're not odd, just the number) bloggers that I follow will continue without my knowing what's going on in their lives.
Not to mention, receiving no more comments because that function, as well as that of posting photos, has already been challenged in the last month. Before that I already lost the lists of blogs I was following, where nobody's latest blog is listed. For today there's still a list, but with an old blog title. And some of the blogs on that list seem to get left off entirely.
--------------
I'm now going to hopefully follow your blog posts with the aid of feedly DOT com. I will not be posting here on this "When I Was 69" blog for now. Look for me almost daily on Life in Durango.
--------------
So here are some of the blogs I enjoy reading...
-------------------
Of course the links are scrambled with the "/feeds/posts/default" but the links work when that part is left off!
