Lemonade Anyone?

I know, I know, I've been away a bit. There's a saying that when life gives you "lemons" (mishaps, annoyances, unplanned situations, etc), go and make the best of it by making lemonade. My fingers have turned numb for all the squeezing of lemons...

From Sour To Sweet

So, many of you read my mishap a few weeks ago, "Yikes! I Got Scammed!" I didn't fall into being scammed, I practically walked right through the door! In any event, I received my laptop after about 2 weeks and all was right with the world... sort of...

About a week later, I was using my laptop and received the "Batter Low" message on my screen, so I did what I always do, I plugged in the charger. Only this time, the notice didn't automatically disappear. Mmmm... Should I be concerned? Nah! I got work to do!

I should have been concerned. The next day, within 15 minutes of turning on my laptop, the "Battery Low" appeared again. Huh. That's odd, considering that I had it plugged in for hours the night before. Slowly, I was accepting the fact that something is wrong. I was advised to go to Best Buy to have one of their "geeks"take a look. Fortunately, the battery was fine; unfortunately, my power cord was dead. I decided to shop around for a universal charger, which basically means I went to Amazon.

My new power cord arrived within a few days and all is right with the world. But I couldn't help but notice that this was the 2nd "issue" I had with my laptop in one month.

So... What's The Lesson?

Keep a lot of pitchers on hand! Seriously! Projects will be interrupted; things get lost, stolen, or break; hackers never seem to take vacations; someone ate the last piece of cake... with 24 hours in a day, things are bound to happen. I'll admit it, I had about 10 seconds where I could feel frustration starting to overtake me. Everyone has their own methods, but I went into my room to read one of the Psalms I had read earlier and prayed. I just wanted to take a moment to refocus my energy on all I should be grateful for as opposed to getting flustered over a temporary situation.

So, I'm back and looking forward to an April full of abundance! A lovely weekend to you all, and always...

Strive to Thrive,

Veronica

I great drink to have when you're on a cruise!

Who doesn’t have problems with batteries and chargers - we don’t like hackers Veronica!

I hope you settle and have a wonderful weekend!

Maybe the universe was just telling you to take a little break, regroup and come back stronger. You have a good attitude so all will work out in the end.

Happy Easter
Lisa

But I already had a break, Lisa!

Such is life as they say...

An Wonderful Easter to you as well.

Yes, sometimes a few deep breaths and walking away helps. Frustration is part of the game of life.

Having a second laptop helps too. I'm thinking about doing that.

Happy Easter Veronica :-)

Hmmm...that's a good idea, Wendy. Even if it was like a Notebook or tablet.

Have an enjoyable week off, Wendy!

Oh I will, a break from the day job is always a relief. :-)

How dare them to eat the last piece of cake just when you get the lemonade made. Have a Happy Easter.
Jerry

LOL... some people are just so inconsiderate!

Aren't they though! After all that hard work and then take your cake. Wishing you a very Blessed Weekend. One of my favorite verses is Psalms chapter 118 verse 24. It helps to center me. I hope it does you as well.
Jerry

I actually have an asterisk next to that passage, Jerry!

Happy Easter season Veronica!

A Wonderful Easter to you, Papa!

That's the only way to look at a problem..sit back and refocus.

Tried and true

Elaine

Absolutely, Elaine!
