Floating shift……

Do you write books in your dreams? I do. Novels and lots of them. Sometimes it’s a modern day setting and sometimes it is way before my time here. So, maybe now, in this new digital medium (for me), I will just practice a bit. My professional life/work has changed recently and I have had more time to think and ponder how to move forward. I came across a pendant in my jewelry drawer a few weeks ago. It’s an old typewriter key, encased in sterling to be worn as a necklace. It is an unusual key that says Floating Shift. Just what is a floating shift? I have no idea, and I don’t remember one on my typewriter in my youth. Yes, I am of a certain age where they still existed in stores and were used to write college papers. Coming across it makes me smile. My best buddy and roommate from college, the journalism major, has the same one. She joined my daughter, her godchild, and me in New York City to catch up and play for a few days during one of my buying trips. I really like it and it’s connection to her. This key reminds me that I am shifting to a digital age. No more handwritten notes, receipts, recipes, and numbers of other people to contact on a piece of paper. Here is where the paper trail ends.

Today I start my floating shift online. Join me and let’s see what happens…..
