1230 TO FLY BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS OR LEARN TO CREATE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER?

At times, intuitive intelligence creates a problem-solving plan
At times a problem resolves by itself
Then there are times when I have no clue
How to solve a problem for this reason:
My think tank's memory bank is lacking
The knowledge necessary for solving
A problem that proves as challenging as
Calculus would be if taken before algebra
In short, problems that prove complex
Are best solved in a thoughtful manner
One step at a time
When a problem proves highly complex
My sense of humility seeks guidance from
One whose brain has been trained in
An area of expertise, which is still Greek to me
For example, I've been trying to
Organize my iPhoto app by the seat of my pants and
For quite some time, this is all I've achieved:
A heightening level of frustration!  Grrrr!
Though my technique of hit-or-miss has not yet lasso'd
Those two photos with which I'd hoped to
Entertain your sense of fun in yesterday's post, here's why
I'm planning to lessen my heightened level of frustration by
Enrolling in another iPad class as soon as I publish this post:
I've been wanting to organize my photos for years; however
My need to take action did not feel compelling until
Ravi was born, and if you ask why that positive change
Readied my need to act, right now, I'd reply:
For years my sense of intuition 'knew' that the birth of
A beloved grandchild would reawaken
My desire to record the life of another precious person
In the same organized fashion as had been true while
Assembling photo albums, showcasing the childhood of
My three rambunctious boys
I mean, if asked who had assumed the role of
Family photographer, all fingers would point to me
And so, once again, hindsight offered me insight into foresight
As to when my think tank's sense of readiness
Would feel eager to absorb the knowledge necessary to
Organize albums in a fashion that will
Simplify the process of posting photos whenever
A picture proves more eloquent than writing 1000 words
And now that readiness has ripened
I'll seek guidance while working toward
Accomplishing a goal that
I've wanted to achieve for quite some time

So, if the little football fan and sleepy little rocker chick, which
Proved unretrievable, yesterday, happens to show up, today
You'll know that by sheer determination, your friend, Annie
Has somehow managed to lasso two funny photos while
Flying by the seat of her pants through
Her disorganized photo collection, again
And if the football fan and rocker chick do not appear, today
You can be assured that they'll pop up in a future post
Once I've mastered that photoshop class
So okay ... here goes ... One last uneducated try ...

Phooey!  Foiled, again!😳
Back to the path of ,,,
Seek knowledge and Ye shall find solutions that simplify your life! 😜 

BTW, those little squares are icons, symbolizing smiles and frowns …
If you ask why they post as squares, I'll reply:  I have no clue!
See what I mean about life offering our minds countless mysteries to figure out …
Good thing I know to call a home run hitter when I strike out☺️
It also helps that my think tank is well trained to end
Most trains of thought on an upbeat note, buoyed by hope ...
I mean, seriously ... Though life offers
An endless string of uncertainties to one and all …
Who wants to walk around feeling glum and
Looking like a frustrated sourpuss?
Not me!😄
PS
Huh!  Upon publishing this post, I found that one icon actually
Showed up as a smile!  So what are we to make of that!??????
