Using Your Keyboard

Here are some tricks I find helpful:

alt+tab returns you to the previous screen you were viewing. I use this one lots
Ctrl+c copies highlighted area
Ctrl+v pastes copied area

I have to credit my brother Jon for teaching me these tricks. Also, the more you leave your hands at the keyboard--the less you use the mouse, the faster things get done.

Anyone have any keyboard tricks they would like to share?

When I clicked on it, and saw that it was by Elder Busche, my heart soared because he was Alan's mission president, a man he loved dearly. I will definitely point him in that direction tonight when he gets home. I really needed to hear the words and the music was so peaceful. You are such an amazing woman and I always learn by watching you. Thank you for sharing your talents.

How do we reduce the pressure and enjoy our families more? "...recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction. Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said "The biggest mistake I made {as a parent} is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of {my three children} sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less" (from "Daughters of God", Ballard April 2008; click on image for complete article)
