So, I think maybe, just maybe, I figured out how to participate in a challenge. I've let it intimidate me for years- and that isn't an exaggeration. I know the forum underwent a change recently, but it intimidated me even before that. Very worried that this old dawg can't learn new tricks. But I decided tonight is the night. And not only am I feeling accomplished, I'm just wiped out. LOL. What little thing do you let intimidate you and hold you back from doing something you want to do?
Well good on you for giving it a try! We were ALL in the same boat as you are when we first started too, can't tell you how 'foreign' it all looked to me when I first did a challenge here many years ago. The adage about continuing to practice applies here, the more challenges you do, the more proficient and quicker it becomes, it has nothing to do with age dear lady, but more about what we perceive our abilities to be......... and in most cases those perceptions are false.
So congrats on getting one challenge down, now onto another one!
You know, when I first started, I had an old exercise book that I wrote down the steps I had to do, in my own words, and that sat by my computer so I had something to refer to.......... something like a checklist of steps that I could mentally cross off as I did it. Before I knew it I was able to stop referring to it.
And
