My sister's HP laptop is on the blink. There's power, but there is no display. She asked me if I thought she would need to buy a new one. My response was I hope not since it's such a hassle trying to retrieve all of your important information off the old hard drive. So it becomes a question of repairing what you have, or starting from scratch with a new one. I personally know a lot of people who have always opted to replace without giving it a second thought; that is until something goes wrong with the replacement that makes them long for the replaced. The more I've though about this, the more I realize I'm know longer thinking about, laptops, computers, TV's, or cars, but people and relationships. I mean maybe nothing was wrong with what was replaced. Maybe it was operator error. I know people who long to go back, not to the one that got away but to the one they threw away. I guess sometimes hindsight really is.....
Love y'all
SLC

I know someone who'd love to have me back, but since I grew wings, he can't catch me (LOL)
ReplyDeleteThink really long and hard, sit quietly with yourself/herself and the answere will come (smile)
I had mine repaired. You know I lost a lot of photos but I have the memeories in my heart!
LOVE ya.
PS Don't tell anybody I stopped by, I'm supposed to be working but I have a "crime block" Never a writer's block (LOL)
There are a couple of people who would love to have me back as well, and like Free Spirit, we're on different paths of life and they don't intersect!
ReplyDeleteMy HP isn't working and it's the same problem as your sisters and I know that I have to repair it because my book is on it.:(
Love you as well,
Stacye
I don't know what is happening with Blogger but i have left at least two comments that didn't take...i am hoping that this one does. Great post, first of all... an i say, there comees a time when we have to let what doesn't work for us...go...some things and people have to walk out our lives for us to grow. I cherish memories and people, but i trust in God overall.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of time, these are some of my favorite lyrics ever. I think if them often because of the relationships I encounter.
ReplyDeleteBecause time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel Like they've got something real But you and me we know They've got nothing but time And time won't give me time.Gotta know when the time is up.
Good message SLC.
ReplyDeleteFor me I had nothing (not appropriate English but fitting for my point) to look back on. My blessings were before me and so there was no one that I long to go back to. Thank you Lord! My choices back then before my HUSBAND who is my BLESSING; were horrible choices so my head and heart never turn back.
However I do understand your point. I know women who threw away good husbands for what and who they thought were better just to find out...
We've ministered to men who have done the same thing as well and are praying now for God to bring reconciliation to their divorced marriages.
Not everyone fits into this category obviously but some do.
Blessings and peace.
This is such a coincidence (or is it). I've been married for 20 years and with my husband for 25. I ran into my first boyfriend, who wasn't all that nice to me, the other day. All he could talk about was how he messed up and still thinks about me and wonders how our life would have been if we would have stayed together. That blew me away because I was 14 and 15 when we "dated." It was nice to know that I left such a strong impression.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you bring up this topic. I just heard a message about not allowing relationships/things becoming a crutch in your life.
ReplyDeleteA lot of times there is nothing wrong with what you have, sometimes its just time to move on because there is something better waiting for you.
For instance - I have cassettes that work just fine, but I sure do love my ipod. No more popped tape to contend with.
Man truer words probably have never been spoken. I myself sometimes reminisce about what might have been. But I think that's everyone's favortie bone in the body. the wishbone......
