Technology and I don’t alway get along very well. I have been on a family vacation but before I left town I scheduled a couple blogs to “publish” on Monday and Friday. (I have made a commitment to myself to blog those days.) When I go on vacation I go off the grid, sort of. I glance at emails on occasion but almost never respond and I don’t pick up the phone. It’s suppose to be vacation after all.
This morning when I opened my commuter to write my blog, I realized that my scheduled blogs hadn’t posted while I was gone. It had looked easy enough. Schedule the date to publish and hit “publish”. Obviously I had done something wrong. So I hit publish a few times this morning, ran to work for a few hours and ran back for today’s Pen to Paper. I was not happy about this, but it’s times like this that I have to breath and just let go. (And then tomorrow make a phone call to some one who understands the in’s and out’s of WordPress.)
And once I let it go, I can think about writing. And remind myself that when plans don’t go as scheduled, I can just move on. Or better yet, grab my pen and write about it. Sometimes that’s where the greatest stories begin.
