Two Friday nights ago I tried to finally post my Christmas entry (after stops and starts because of pictures not downloading, a third of what I had written disappearing, etc). I worked on it from 10:00 pm to 12:45 am and I had such a feeling of relief when it was at last completed. All I had to do was edit it. I started editing and after about 15 minutes, I suddenly realized it was the exact same content as before I started my updating at 10:00 pm. NOTHING HAD SAVED despite my hitting save multiple times. It was all wiped out just like that. Now it was 1:00 am and the tears were flowing freely. But wait! I had the presence of mind to copy and paste everything into Word first. Maybe it would work out after all. Nope! You can't copy and paste pictures directly into the blog. I was so upset when I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning that I decided that was it. I don't need this stress in my life. Plus, it was Sabbath and no doubt the devil was smiling because I wasn't feeling very close to God right then.
I have mulled it all week and then some...what to do, what to do. I have decided I'm going to start a really nice album like my mom and Camille do each year and I'll write in it and post pictures each week so as to have a nice album that I can print out as a book (using Blurb) at the end of the year. I think the kids would get a lot more out of it and I (hope) it will take some pressure off me.
So, after 532 posts over nearly eight years, I bid you adieu. Thank you for taking your time to read this and for those who gave feedback. It meant a lot. From now on, if you want to know what's happening in our lives, give me a call or send a text. Or, talk to my mother.
God bless.
P.s. In case I get cold feet, check back here in a few weeks...
