November 10, 2018 Practice. Not sure if I'm progressing or regressing. Still working on the elements advised: joins, symmetry, shade consistency, counter consistency, slant/angle consistency. I'm still working in groups of 5, but still having problems getting two lines of words with consistency. I'd be all set if I could just "cut and paste" a better word from all the attempts. Hah! I'm a bit frustrated that I am still struggling with my hand-eye coordination, but I keep reminding myself it's about the journey, and that I'm 70, not 30. Then I take a deep breath, stretch, and go play with the dog for a while. It helps. Thank you for sticking with me, even though it's taking me such a long time to find the consistency I long for. It must be even more frustrating for you to keep reminding me of the same things. But....Please don't give up on me! I'm very serious about wanting to learn, and I won't give up.
