Hello

Hi Everyone!

It's me...you know Miss Barbara

Remember me?

Ok well I just wanted to drop by and say that I went to see Eric this weekend.

He is still looking for a job in Austin, so if any of you know of any Chef jobs in the area I would REALLY appreciate you passing them on to me.

Eric has his associates degree in Culinary and needs a job to stay in Austin.

Also a bit of more sad news.....my computer went berserk.  I lost all my pictures, two books I was writing and numerous other things I don't even remember yet. I had to start over on everything.

THANK GOD  for this journal as I have put most of my pictures in it and I can at least retrieve them from here.

I learned a very important lesson....

Save everything that matters to a disc or something.

I just thought it was safely stored here in my computer....wrong ...again.

My Mom is pretty weak right now.  She will have another chemo treatment on Weds.  Please say a prayer for her.

I have not written because I like to be upbeat and things are on the down beat right now.

But don't worry I have not given up!

1.  Eric will find a job soon and one that he enjoys

2.  My Mom will get well.

3.  My family and friends love me and are praying for me.

4.  I have a good job and able to help Eric out.

5.  Rick has a good job and able to help Eric out.

6.  Tiny is doing great.

7.  My good luck is just around the corner.  I just need a ride there.

8.  God is great, but sometimes life ain't good. When I pray things don't always turn out like I think they should but I do it anyway.

I dream, I sing , I love anyway.

God Bless you all today and always.

Hanging in there and not about to let go....:) Barbara

There you are...I thought maybe you left the country.   I've found that God answers prayers but the answers are what He wants for us not what we necessarily want.  His answers and the timing of those answers are in His time and not ours.  But I'll pray for the healing of your mom and that perfect job for Eric.   Love ya...keep looking up ^   Linda in Washington state

Its good to hear from you again, sorry for all the troubles.  It is possible to recover data from a crashed hard drive.  There are technicians out there that can get it done for you.  Don't write everything off just yet.

I have missed you and wondered about you.  We all need an external hard drive to keep our important files on.  Wish I had one!  I'm saying a prayer for you.

Barbara,
You can write what you like - it's your life, and there's ups and downs in everybody's life. Good luck to Eric, and best wishes on your mom. I'm sorry you had a computer disaster, hope you can still recover some of the lost items.

Hi Barbara,

God truly does LOVE you and your family.  He will see you through this!  Being thankful I believe is the key to unlocking your blessings.

Hang in there, and I will too!

I never like to complain in my journal either...
xoxo Rose
