Quotage

This can be so true in our day to day lives can't it? I experienced a little chaos of my own while on vacation these past few days. We had the best time, and I will post some pictures in the next couple of days and some more details of our trip.....BUT, on the very first day my iphone fell out of my pocket as I was getting on the boat and it sunk to the bottom of the lake never to be found again. We dove and dove until our ears popped but the water was so deep and murky and we could not retrieve the phone. My phone was insured, so my new phone was waiting for me on my door step when I got home last night.....but unfortunately I did not, and had not ever backed up my icloud. {insert frowny face!} I never realized you had to back it up....my simple little mind just thought all my info was floating around somewhere in "the cloud" every time I synced my phone to my computer......... and therefore I lost everything! I mean everything....over 1,000 photos {this is the hardest part for me}, calendars, contacts, texts, important notes....etc.Ugh!Chaos happened, great changes are to be made. I will be backing everything up from here on out.If I miss appointments, and things are quiet for the next few days, its because I am trying to get my life back in order and figure out what end is up! Wish me luck!** UPDATE- Since I wrote this post, I found out I did not have everything backed up to icloud, BUT I did have everything backed up to my laptop through itunes!!! All I had to do was sync my new phone with my itunes and everything came back to my phone just like it was my old phone! I was amazed! I am completely back to normal, everything was recovered, I lost NOTHING, and stand amazed at technology! I am so aware that so much grace was given to me in this instance and I have learned some valuable lessons that I shall not soon forget! Thank you all for your love and thoughts! **xo,Barb
