Patience and Backing Up

Life lessons...

 

Sometimes we are given lessons we didn't realize we're needed so bad. Last night, while trying to improve the blog, I did a horrific thing without knowing why or how. I deleted all previous posts here on Seeking Sunshine.

 

Lessons I'm learning?

1) Patience

2) Always Save And Backup Your Work

 

Patience- In life, things don't always go our way. Things might not progress as quickly as we would hope. Things might even backtrack. Every time I am presented with situations falling within these categories I have a couple of options. First, I can panic. Hyperventilating, heart pounding, head spinning and nerves cringing. Second, I can take a deep breath, let out a sigh of frustration, then regroup. Typically I am one to quickly settle into the first option. This time, I was able to regroup. Not to say I haven't let out a few sighs of frustration but I haven't let it consume me. I will outsmart the machines and I will emerge from the victory with a trophy of a little more patience knowing I didn't let it consume me.

 

Always Backup Your Work- I'm a designer. I was raised by designers. What is a lesson taught since birth when you are raised by such? Save, save, save and backup, backup, backup. Why did I think my blog was immune to the cardinal rules? I'm now paying the ultimate price in the blog world. I lost everything. In the pursuit of higher search rank I took a misstep and in turn lost all of my previous work. What lesson was learned? I'm now saving my work to three different avenues. Lesson learned, once again.

 

 

What fun this night has been. This night which has turned to morning due to restoring and non-snoring. Long live the insomniac!

 

Man! Even Mona Lisa remembered to BACK IT UP!
