Scare

I had a real scare last night. The computer started making this awful noise. I tried turning it off but it had crashed and frozen. I finally got it turned off and thought that was the end of it, the computer was finally dead. I decided to leave it overnight and try it again in the morning. I know computers are just machines but they are temperamental. Sometimes they just need a little rest and all is well. I was a bit worried as I'm just about to start reading You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay with my online group and I have been looking forward to it. With a dead computer and not enough finances to buy a new one I thought I would be offline for quite some time. The other thing was I received an external hard drive for Christmas and hadn't got around to moving all my files and saved stuff onto it. Agh! I thought I had lost it all but as you can see the computer started up like normal this morning. I saved everything onto my external hard drive and am back online. Phew (for now)

Oh no! ...but it knew you had "important stuff" on there and gave you a second chance to save it. I have not done that either. Better do it.

Well, glad computer is working. I've got an external hard drive sitting next to my computer as well. It is a good backup system. Also, as I have so many photos on my computer, it was necessary to put some elsewhere.(My lifeblood). My desk is full of computer devices, all necessary for the creative journey! The thought of you not participating in AW journey would have left empty spot in group's heart. You gave computer a rest, it probably just needed a holiday break, like us all, and all is well! Great news.

P.S.
I just wanted to say I stopped at your daughter's Julia site and was blown away by the image of Zoe she put up there recently! It's worth looking at to anyone who has a moment to check it out!. That should be in the 3 generations show, for sure!

Thanks for your kind words April :)
