Here are my answers to this week’s Share Your World from pensitivity101

 Do you like change?

Yes and No. I don’t like change when something I was using perfectly well – like my birding app – gets updated and then I have to learn how to use it all over again. However, I usually find the changes are for the better and I get used to them and start to enjoy the new app.

I also enjoy new experiences and try to say yes to new opportunities when they present themselves. Live in the moment – tomorrow may never come!

When I was younger change was great and I embraced all the technological changes with great keenness. Now that I’m older I’m not as excited about change as it takes me longer to wrap my head around new techniques. The problem is that things are changing so quickly. In my lifetime I have gone from party line telephone to video calls, from no television to Netflix and from standing in queues at the bank, within certain hours only, to instant online banking at all hours. And the world is continuing to change at an alarming rate. So I’d better like change. I can’t stop it and I can’t choose when to check out of this planet!

Can you remember the last time you had to use an operator service?

I would have put a long-distance call through via an operator many years ago.

What is the best and worst ‘hold’ music you have had to listen to?

I get irritated with any hold music but I can’t say I have a worst or best. The school I taught at used to play the school song – which I thought was a cute idea.

Do you find numerous ‘options’ annoying when connected to an automated service?

Not really – what I do find annoying is being passed on to somebody who can’t help me.

Gratitude:
Beauty surrounds us, but sometimes we are too preoccupied to notice.

The above is something I can go on about all day! We really need to stop worrying about all the little irritations of the day. There is so much around us to take pleasure in. At the moment, in my neck of the woods, the spring flowers are everywhere and they are quite breathtakingly beautiful.
