After publishing my last blog I turned off my computer ready to leave for a few days away with my Sister. I had forgotten a few things on my list of things to do and not to do . Turning back  to one of my best friends… she just stopped breathing…

my computer just didn't  work. She would not even flickr a light.  I tried everything possible  .

I gently unplugged her , putting her in the car , seat belted  also.  Off to my Computer teck we went only to find out the news.  She would not be coming home , not ever. Worn out is what I was told.  All my photos were inside on two different drives.  Could they be saved was the big question that went though my mind as I faced the fear of loosing what I had not backed up, a dream I have worked so very hard to get to.  I knew I had some of CF cards,  Photos on a private flickr site for backup , also my public flickr Site., CDs. and my big removable D drive that was full.  

I purchased a new computer with my teck Jason and left for my vacation hoping that he would  save more the just my D drive. All my work from 2009 was on my C drive . Would it be gone. ??  I didn’t care about anything else. .Just my Photos. Would he save it somehow . Over the next few days of phoning to find out he said my C drive had died. I was in tears for a few hours. . I came to a point of acceptance that all was gone . 

Jason worked hard for me. I don't know how he did it. He saved every photo on my C drive.. I'm still getting over this shock and so grateful for the answered Prayers and the skills of a very young man whom I think I now Love. :)

I have spend hours downloading all my software to this new computer    . I now have the programs that do work for burning all my photos to DVDs.  I have a lot of work ahead of me  .  Also there are something that I have put on the back burner for awhile that I will be working on that needs to take time. 

If I don't get by your blog I ‘m apologizing ahead of time as  these are important to me to get started and underway. I had thought of not even blogging about this one but it can happen and to anyone.  . Back up what you have , Print off what you need too, publish what you can and keep on going.

I know I have an unending faith ,  crossed one more bridge, walked a path I didn’t really intend on walking , cried a few more tears that I didn’t want to , however had I learned another lesson on my journey.

There are

those who see with loving eyes …

and

life is beautiful

those  who speak with tender voices

and

life is peaceful

those  who help with  a gentle hand

and

life is full

and

to those who care with compassionate hearts

life is good and cant be measured..

Each of you that stop here with your comments , encouragement  are special to me  beyond words..

Until Next time.  Have a Great rest of the Week.
