Sometimes You Feel Like A Beginner; And That Is Good

Sometimes you feel like a beginner.
You know why? Because you are!

And feeling like a beginner is really not a bad thing in fact it can be a very good thing. Sometimes we need to go back and understand what it feels like to be brand new at something. Especially something that other people do so easily - and for me that is using Screenflow and/or editing movies. It feels Iike using a laptop with training wheels.....

I learned to ski as an adult so I knew what it felt like. But then for many years I was a ski instructor and taught adults who saw this little bump on the hill right after we got off a chairlift and panicked. It always boggled my mind because I had forgotten what it was like. Then I tried to learn to snowboard. I went up the chairlift got off with help went over to that little bump and panicked. I burst out laughing because it was a needed reminder that things feel different when you know how to do them and sometimes it helps to be the beginner.

So here is my "snowboard attempt" number 2 at using Screenflow - and it to me it looks better than the one I did yesterday. [gives self pat on back]
