Carolyn, Thanks. It's hard to slow down when I need to catch up, but I totally hear you and you are right!

I know you feel like everyone's doing all this stuff and you want to know it all RIGHT NOW! You'll just make yourself crazy. Take things a step at a time. It will come eventually. I'm living proof of just how eventually for some of us.:) Just start by taking up one task at a time and working on what you need to do to use that task consistently. Then you add. But, trying to build Rome in a day won't work for most of us. There are exceptions, some of the geius types for whom things just click easily. Others of us just work at adding to our personal knowledge and understanding of the system with it's lovliness and it's quirks. Now please slow down and give yourself a break.
