I Wish

I wish I could learn how to post pictures on the blog and forum. What is this resistance within me that makes it hard for me to learn? I’m sure it doesn’t help that I go into panic mode when I try.

Actually, my daughter thinks that computer-wise, I’m cursed. She says that things happen to me on the computer that never happened to anyone else ever before and could never be replicated by even the most savvy computer person. (I suppose it’s not an altogether bad thing that I can accomplish what others cannot!)

My daughter grumpily says things like:

“I’ll really be glad when you’re in Argentina, and Santhan can fix everything for you. I’d like to see how long he can put up with it.”

My computer trauma has gotten so bad that whenever I call my daughter on the phone, she greets me with:

“NOW WHAT? What did you do?�

OR she may mutter:

“I don’t want to hear it.�

As you may know, I have one child, and smart-alecky Lauren may also say:

“Go ask your other daughter.�

Santhan, on the other hand, as you would expect, is most genial. And it is he presently who puts all the pics up on the blog.

Whereas I don’t mind bothering my daughter a bit. I do mind bothering Santhan. For one thing, there are greater Heavenletter matters to bug him about. I also have the idea, that as a blood relation, my daughter is supposed to do things for her mother, be grateful, as a matter of fact, that she has a mother to do things for! Whereas Santhan doesn’t have to do anything, and, therefore, I am so grateful.

Well, blog-readers, when I learn how to put up photos myself, WATCH OUT. It is going to be photo-rama! There will be more photos than words, wait and see.

Meanwhile, I am going to timidly ask Lauren if she will scan some things for me. Maybe, just maybe, I can catch her in a good mood, and she’ll say yes without too much grumbling.

If, one of these days, you see a blog entry illustrated with the frontispiece from my second-grade book, Clematis, you will know she said Yes.

Gloria,
You say the funniest things and even when Lauren is grumpy, she is the least grumpy person I have ever met.
It’s true, you know it is.
And besides,
Santhan should not be any more unapproachable than
your own
flesh and blood.
I cannot side with you on this one but I do empathize with your computer curse.
I do agree that things happen to you that would never even think of happening to anyone else and I think it’s because you are so accepting.
Now, anyone who knows Gloria knows that she may be many things, but accepting of things that are not right is definitely against her nature. So I am being a little naughty here to suggest that she, Gloria, is so holy and spiritual as to be a saint.
We know, a saint she ain’t. And we are very glad about that.
I do wish, thought, that she would learn how to post to my blog because I am being so good as to post to hers.

Dear Ms. Jacqueline,

We have enough correspondence, you and I, about my trying to post a response to your blog www.jsignori.blogspot.com to become a blog entry itself!

I suggest you move your blog over to Diaryland where Lauren has her blog because I can easily post a comment there.

You know how I have tried to post.

And here is the comment to your blog that I tried with every fiber of my Being to post:

Oops, I can’t find it this minute, but I did email you this:

“I LOVE what you wrote! Really deep and wonderful.
Enchanting really.”

Truth be told, Jacqueline, your first entry, Solstice, is supreme.

Now, as for Lauren’s disposition, you are right. She is the most good-natured person in the world. However, when it comes to her mother, she turns into someone else. It’s true.

For those who may not know, Oya is the mother of the beautiful lady, Engin, who translates Heavenletters into Turkish for us every day.

We are honored to have you post your wishes here, beloved Oya. I especially love: “I Wish Angels wake up everybody to think the best for themselves and for everybody all over the world.”

This is a great wish. Is there one better?

Thank you, canim Oya.

With love and blessings,

In my defense, here is atypical interaction with my mother:

Mom - Lauren I need you to come clear out my cache!!! Now!!! The thing told me I am supposed to do it.

Me: Errr, what thing, are you having computer problems?

Mom: They told me I needed to clean out my cache, will you please come do it?

Me: (after a few days of cache hysterics) Okay, I cleaned out your cache for you.

Mom: Show me!!

Me: Err it is a hidden file somewhere, not something one normally looks at?

Mom: I want to see my cache!!

Me: Really it is not that interesting.

(a few minutes later)

Mom: You didn’t clear my cache!!!!!

Me: Yes, I did.

Mom: I can still SEE it!!!

Me: What are you seeing exactly?

Mom: The list of sites I visit!! Still showing!!

Me: (sighing) That is your history, not your cache.

Mom: Oh, I thought it was my cache.

Dear Gloria,

Thank you very much for your kind and beautiful ‘reply’.
It is great happiness to read you.I wish everybody’s best wishes because of Christmas and new year come true and they can see the goodness and happiness in the Heavenletters.
I sometimes think that ‘Heaven letters’ is lıke an umbrella which protects people think something not nice to feel unhappy .Heaven letters are all around of us which shows us the path to live on happily.
One of my experiences is that made me think and ‘feel free like a bird’.It was the time that I really needed ‘to feel free like a bird’ and it helped me very much.
Thank you for the writer thank you for the
translator.I can read both.
