This Old Dog & Janis Joplin

As I was working on my social media connections today with my WA website, I pondered all of the amazing things that I have learned here at WA and, of course, this led me to thoughts of one of my favorite late 1960's rock & roll artists, Janis Joplin.

As if it were only yesterday, I heard in my mind's ear that raspy, perfect pitched, short little drug-abuser sing...Try...try...try...just a little bit harder now.... A great song "Try" by a strange woman but oh so important to my efforts here at WA.

I write, I edit, I write, and edit some more. Am I getting anywhere? Heavens yes! Every day I feel myself getting closer and closer to realizing my dreams with my website. But there are regrets!

For example, I wish that I would have completed all of my WA course work before I ever started to build my website and link that website up to things like Google +. I have made so many mistakes with the website. I know that, NOW, I could have made it even better and really neat had I not jumped into it with both LEFT FEET. Sure, I can modify the site and I am doing that wherever I feel that I can get away with it without upsetting Google+ or now any of the social media sites that I am involved with. But to a certain degree, the die is cast.

I also realize that the training was (is) so good here at WA that maybe I should have considered a second niche...writing and producing websites for small businessmen. So I have a few regrets here at WA but many more very positive aspects to my involvement with the WA community. Where else, when you are feeling a little down, can you spot and open a pattucker "feel good" piece and simply turn that frown into a happy face. :>) DAN
