A tech success!

I'm feeling quite proud of myself, or at least relieved. right now.  No, I haven't thrown my shoulder out patting myself on the back, but I am feeling good.  I have recently taken on a new volunteer position at church.  I am the newly elected Clerk of Session (a kind of impressive title for secretary).  Part of my job is communicating by email with the 24 people on the committee so I knew I needed to create a contact group because it's a whole lot easier to send emails to a large number of people that way.  Over the years, I have created other contact groups so I didn't expect a problem.  However, since the last time I created such a group, gmail has reconfigured some things.  It took me a few hours, spread over three evenings to finally find the symbol I needed, get into the right program, and finally, this evening, get all the names and emails entered into a contact group.  Really, taking so long to figure this out is nothing to be proud of.  Any 12 year old could probably have done it in ten minutes.  But I admit to being technologically challenged and so I savor every hard won victory.
