Moving along

When 300 words disappear because of touching the wrong key on the keyboard, I feel disappointed.  What a waste surely.  That was surely going to be a great blog post.  But not to worry now.  I have to be moving on because moping about it is not going to do anything positive.  All those thoughts and ideas are not really lost.  They're still there. The words are still there beckoning to be reincarnated into words and letters that grace the screen. They can still be conjured to life.  They're still somehow stored in the brain.  They might not come out exactly as before the meanings will still be there.

Having said that, I will let the lost words find refuge in the world of the dead for now and just move along a different direction until I'm ready to revisit them.  I remember a lady who had been typing along for an hour in the library of Canada Bay. She was disheartened to know that all her work is gone after the computer decided that her time was over and signed her out.  I suppose she didn't heed the warning to save her work.  Oh well she did save in a way viz. saving a Word document every now and then but the computer really meant to save it in an external device like a USB because when the computer signs you out, all your work in the temporary files are lost forever and no tech support gurus can bring them back to life.  She was complaining to the library staff but they couldn't help her.  I also explained to her that there was ample warning that the computer would be signed out.  The amount of minutes left for you would even be displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen,

So I had a similar lesson.  But I'm moving on along.  Time is precious.  Let us continue with the task of creation and not be bothered and stopped by a small mishap.  Life goes on. Move on along.
