Missing iPad (Cont.)

Hi there!  In our last blogging session, I asked you to try to help me figure  out what happened to my iPad.  Did you think about what happened to it?   Not at all?  Oh well, no bother. Whew, that old adage of, "When it rains, it pours" worked on me this week.  I have always said that it pays to have a plan "B" and it is a good thing that I did.  Yes! If you guessed that the iPad was stolen then hats off to you because you are exactly right!

By my being a poetess/writer, to say that I was devasted by the theft of the iPad does not begin to cover the situation.  The first emotion I experienced was disbelief, then shock, followed by hurt/pain and lastly anger. I, who pride myself on being  flexible and level-headed wanted that person caught and caught "right now!" I calmed down and then started the notification process that you have to go through when something is lost or stolen.  Thankfully, I had engaged a numeric code for my iPad so that gave me some measure of  satisfaction, but not much.  I had just been telling someone two days before the theft, about one of my favorite scriptures, Romans 8:28.  That scripture got a workout this week because I kept repeating it to myself.  I just kept telling myself that, "All things work together for good for those that love the LORD."

iPad Update: All of my work has been recovered except the poems...yeah, so sad.  Hey, but that's okay!  You know why? Yep, you guessed correctly again; I had made hard copies of all of my poems except about seven of them.  I don't remember what they were, I  figure that they were meant to go into obscurity anyway. I said "Oh well! And then I kept stepping!" I told you about the theft of the iPad because 1. You are so kind as to listen to me and let me ramble on a bit and 2. To make a point.

("Almaism" for the Day)
Here's my point:


 In life, we often are called upon to do things that are just plain hard  and to do things that we'd rather not.   But I am sharing this blog with you today to remind you  to always have a "Plan A", "B" and "C", because before this life is done, you don't know what will befall your lot.

Tomorrow is another day and I will save some words for then.
It's been a joy, stay safe until on the page of my blog, we meet again.

Oops! I almost forgot.  The iPad that was stolen had a 16gb memory. My new one has 32gb.  I wanted 64 bit that one was a little pricey for me. So I stuck a smile on my face and said, "Oh well! 'Que Sera Sera, Whatever will be, will be."'

Question provided purely for your perusal in thought:
1. Since I recommended a "Plan A", "B" and "C", can you spot my "Plan A", "B" and "C"?
