#Introduce Yourself

Hello Steemians. I am a senior who lives along the Canadian Westcoast. I am a wife, a mother and a grandmother.

As a senior I find it very hard to keep up with all the Tec knowledge changes that seem to take place with lightening speed. I am hoping by joining Steemit I can learn some new things while being able to exchange some ideas with others. I don’t think that the younger generation can fully appreciate how hard for us to keep up. This is particularly driven home when my young grandchildren are helping me with a new feature on my phone or computer.

#My Introduction to Steemit

Hopehugs introduced me to Steemit. I was inspired by her story of overcoming some really difficult personal challenges. It would be nice to be able to reach out and give her a hug.

#My Background
I grew up in a sports family. My father was a very successful Canadian Golf Professional. As a young girl I was not encouraged to pursue golf. I had two brothers who were the golfers. However as I got older I started to golf and still like to play. It is such a frustrating game.

As a result of this family connection my husband and I ran a wholesale golf equipment company until we retired. The building of this company had me travelling to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea to seek products. This experience was eye opening to me. If I had been younger and hadn’t had the responsibilities at home I would have loved to have spent a couple of years working in Hong Kong.

#My Interests
I love to cook. You can see this interest at my website potspansetcetc.com. If I can learn to photograph my cooking as I put together a recipe may be I can share some of our favorite food with the Steemians.

I love to read. My night table is always piled with books. It is hard to say what my favorite books are. If I think back to my childhood I loved the Anne of Green Gables Series by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Since then I read a wide variety of genres. I especially like mysteries but I don’t restrict my reading to them. Recently All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr really tugged at my heartstrings.

#A Personal Note
Looking through the Steemit site I see people are being encouraged to be personal about them selves. The following is not meant to be a whine but a statement of fact. In the last few years I have had some unexpected surprising health problems. As a result of this the recovery periods have completely changed my life. To hopefully continue to stay mobile I have had to adopt a rather ridged exercise program. By using the term ridged I mean I must constantly do it or I regress. This had caused me not to have the time I need to work on the several websites that I have. It has halted the learning process I had under taken. At the moment I am feeling a bit lost in this part of my life. I am hoping that maybe by exchanging ideas and getting to know the many Steemians I will find my way back to learning about this most confusing digital world. In return I will try to bring something to the site.
