Sunday Sabbath  May 22 2016  A BLOG THAT MAY NEVER BE READ

Oh, what a nightmare my computers have caused me lately.  Because it would take too long to go into lengthy details I will refrain from writing my saga.  However, due to trying to change my blog’s password in order to access another computer and not having enough information needed to satisfy the questionnaire for “Wordpress” my request was refused and all access blocked so that I can no longer access the blog on either computer.  Of course there is no phone help available. Oh how I often detest the impersonal world we now live in.  If crying would help then I would cry but I really do hate to get a stuffy nose.  And besides, I don’t really think it would do much to help in this situation.  I just have to realize I may have lost permanent access to my blog.

So what better way to deal with this kind of frustration than to just let my mind sort through things as I write?  I don’t know if this blog will ever be seen or not.  Or for that matter if my blog will ever be viewed again on a daily basis.  So far the old blogs are still available for view.  I hope they stay.

Today was planned to be a come down day from all the work we’ve been doing these past few weeks.  I think my body needed to come down.  I actually relaxed and watched one movie but could not bear to be idle any longer than that.  I should have just gone to bed, pulled the covers over my head, and not touched the computer at all tonight. 

And so, now I am in a quandary.  I’m at the point where I am wondering if I just give up and go to bed or try to find some other source of help.  My head is spinning, my mind is spinning, and my heart is spinning.  If I were a blond I guess you could say that right about now I would be a “DIZZY BLOND”. 

 

FOR BOTH THE BIG AND SMALL

How is it I could lose a password?

At my age, that shoul be unheard.

Or perhaps it is because I am so old

That pertinent info my head won’t hold.

 

Complete order is what I need,

But so busy I rarely heed

All I must to do run a tight ship.

Sister dear, don’t give me any lip!

 

If I could put everything in just one pile

I’d know where to look though it would take a awhile.

And perhaps the pile would get too high

If I lived long enough before I die.

 

INTERLUDE OF A PHONE CALL TO THE GEEK SQUAD!  It only took about four hours and I am now the Administrator once again of www.visionsofpoetry.com.

And to top it off, this Geek Squad agent was able to fix the other problem that has been hounding me this entire past week.  Needless to say this computer situation made for long days and short nights because I was on the phone so much.  But now that it is over, I think I am on my way to recovery.

(NOW I WILL CONTINUE WRITING THE ENDING OF THE POEM)

In less than four hours sanity reigns,

Oh my goodness, computers are a pain.

I am so sorry to share my grumbles,

Mercifully you weren’t privy to all my mumbles!

 

And I thank God for answering my prayer,

It was so good knowing He was there.

He is concerned for both the big and the small,

And picks me up when I take a fall.

 

Tonight would have been easy to just cave in

or think about the “what might have been”.

But instead I chose to simply ask

That God would take over my task.

 

When God’s in control life is easier to bear.

And He gives me insight of what to be aware.

Thank You God for being with me to the end,

It is so amazing Lord, that You are my Friend!

 

Well gang, as you can see I didn’t need to panic (which I thought about doing) and everything has turned out just fine for my dilemma.  I almost erased the first part of the blog I wrote but then decided otherwise.  I think it is important to be able to express how we truly feel, and as I’ve said previously, what I write is part blog, part journal.  If I am going to share my days I might as well share both the me I’d like you to see, as well as, the me I’d rather you not see.  Isn’t it wonderful that none of us are perfect and that God loves us anyway?

 

Thank You God for loving me even when I grumble a bit.

Thank You God for Your peace during my consternation.

Thank You Lord that You are always there for me to call upon.

Thank You for the solution to my situation.

And Lord, special thanks that my ongoing problem was also solved this evening.

Thank You for goat cheese and tomatoes.  They made a delicious dinner as I sat here conversing with the Geek Squad on my screen.

Thank You Lord for toothpicks.

 

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU!

P.S.  And I have written my password down and saved it in a safe place!
