No matter where the problem is, how acute it may be, or how difficult the person may be, there is in the final analysis no one to change but yourself.   

~Joseph Murphy

Again it starts.  I just don't understand why this computer doesn't like me, especially since I give it so much attention LOL.  If I just leave it on 24/7 then it is fine but the minute I start turning it on and off, it starts acting like it wants to crash on me.  This problem comes and goes and I get an awful lot of advice on how to fix it but somehow the problem never gets fully resolved and I seem to fiddle with it often.  It is not a task that I take joy it trying to solve, as a matter of fact I actually get a headache working on it but nontheless I do end up learning more about my computer and how to do things I never knew how to do.  I often wish that "I" personally wasn't the computer savvy one in the family but alas I am the one and this is why this quote is so poignant right now.  I don't know what the problem with my computer is, how acute it is, or if in fact I can solve it but the final analysis is that no one else can try and understand or fix it but me -- unless I end up taking it somewhere which is pointless because if I have "fixed it" before I can "fix it" again so I am the point man.  I can't help but feel that once again it is G-d trying to tell me about my relationship with this silly machine and the amount of attention I do give it.  So any change will have to be done in that area as well, from within myself.  It is a huge learning curve both technically and spiritually.
