“People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but
when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.”

~heres how my wednesday went~
8:15am talking on phone with sister
power goes out
no food to make breakfast
kids please get dressed
call husband "how do you open"...my cell phone dies...no car charger
get kids in car
manually open garage
pull car out
close garage
go into house and out front door...lock door
get in car
realize...i have just locked us out of the house
where is my house key
get kids breakfast
drive to sisters house
she HAS a key
run errands
go to buy a car charger
no charger...they want 35.00 for one...
power will be back on in a couple hours...i'll survive
come home
put food away
play outside with my little ones
power comes back on at 3:00pm
start computer
can't get online
3 hours later
i am told to contact computer manufacture for a system restore
next morning 2 hours later
system restore did not fix our problem
nest step
wipe out our computer
try to reload all
long story summed up
our files have been coruppted
have lost internet explorer which needed for quest to connect us
found "msn explorer" on our computer
but malfuctions...i have a time span of 1-5 minutes
before it shuts down on me
so now we are trying to figure out our next step...
the part i love about technology is the ability to take as many photos as you want
downfall is mine are all on my computer
i think in five years i have printed maybe 3 folders
my pictures mean alot to me
they are a record of my families memories
growth, ect...
all this makes me think a bit about
how i have been
need to start printing or continue storing pictures elsewhere
we do have an external hard drive
but yet this scares me to
what if it malfuctions as well
i am suppose to have faith in only this
unfortunately i don't
so i am trying to visit
but
unfortunately i can be
right in the middle of a comment
and then
msn decides to shut down
in dark there is light...right!?!
well
in between all this happening
my oldest went to the mailbox
and yes
more fancy mail
had come our way!
i had been ever so lucky
and
Liz
sneak over and see what she is up to
(allow yourself to be taken away
by the aromatics she entices you with)
ever so generous is she
decided to draw another
and i had been chosen to receive this wonderful gift
can you SMELL the LAVENDER
intoxicating is the smell coming from this bottle
and as i said GENEROUS
she added an inhaler and a wonderful affirmation card
THANK YOU SO MY DEAR
and then a delightful treat
i was all to excited for as well
from a l♥vely artist
one
who
i fell in in l♥ve with her art
right from the start
Joanne May
can you HEAR his MUSIC
and the SWEET SONG of the bird
NOW
can you see
WHY
i L♥VE her DRAWINGS
an ENCHANTING one is SHE
so in all my darkness
came a bit of light
from
one
who's heart if filled with
kindness
and
one
who's mind is filled with
magic
~THANK YOU BOTH~

Hello!
Just wanted to stop by and say hi..and to wish you luck with your computer troubles. You've inspired me to think about saving all my photos and important notes somewhere other than the computer. You have a lovely place here. I wish you well and happy!

First, I got gooseflesh on my arms reading your post. I got my card pack from Joanne May yesterday too. I love her all the way to forever.
2nd, gosh do I feel your pain about the computer thing. After my second crash and infection in 2 months, my mantra now is Norton live update everytime I turn the damnable thing on, back up on external drive Sunday of every week. I am not living in fear but reality.
3rd, I know it will cost you some mullah but get your memories/pictures out of the computer and if you can't do it.....have someone else do it for you.
4th, I'm shining for you. Headlights on full beam.
(((((hugs)))))) until next time
psssst. thanks for the birthday wishes for Ry guy
Oh gosh, do I know what you mean. I did system restore myself and lost everything. I had to reinstall the internet...lost Word, my printer, my Family Tree program. Now, to get word back, I had to enter my original password, but who remembers that after three years...so contacted the company and they had to look up the original receipt. Thankfully they had it...but I never could get the printer back because I couldn't find the disc, and I will not download one due to my fear of virus...and never got my Family Tree back...lost over 6,000 names. Ironically, my photos were in tact. I hope you can find yours. I am lucky, too, that last week when our power was out for 8 hours due to the explosions, my computer was normal.

yes indeed, even the dark there is light. i love joanne may's work! so enchanted.
much love
oh my ... i can't imagine the stress that you must have gone thru!! it's lovely to know that it all ends well tho :) you must backup your photos ... i got myself to finally do that last night.
believe that the worst is over and what's coming up can only be better :))
Hi Faerwillow,
Thank you very much for mentioning my cards here in your lovely post. I wish I had known. I would have visited you sooner!
Sorry to hear about your computer problems. I started a new post today and it all disappeared!!:(
Like I mentioned to you in my email. I have hassles too, with my internet connection. I think it is naughty fairy mischief. ;)
Love,
Jo.xx
