What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-August 18 to August 24, 2019

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Hi Kathy Streib 
Better than it was. I can get around but very limited with what I can do at this point. Progress seems slow. Patience isn't my best quality.  LOL
