a quick note . . .
as mentioned in a previous post . . . I have been wanting to make
a few changes to my blog . . .
and last weekend - I worked on it for quite a long time!!
crazy as it sounds - I was trying to simplify my life a bit!!

and just when I thought I had it all figured out . . .
I somehow deleted all my comments . . .
Yes - every last one - up to last Saturday evening.
and even a few on the post I had just done earlier that day.

I was in the process of making some changes . . .
to moderate all the comments in the future - as I have
been getting lots of spam lately.
Well - I was in an unfamiliar place . . .
(as I usually just use the little trash can when I am logged onto my blog)
and for some reason I thought it logical that I could delete them without
affecting the ones that had already been published . . .
And yes - I honestly believed they would stay published!!
But - obviously I didn't know what I was doing - and in a flash . . .
they were ALL gone . . .

I couldn't even believe it . . . I was in shock . . .
My sweet husband tried to help me retrieve them . . .
and I was up until about 3:30 in the morning . . . but no luck.
It all happened way too fast . . .
like a speeding bullet - and there was no way back.
I couldn't even believe that I could do this without a prompt from
blogger - to make sure I really wanted to delete them - ffffffforever . . .

(which I obviously didn't!!!!!)
well . . .
this was most definitely not the type of
well . . .
this was most definitely not the type of
"freshening up" I was looking for!!
and although - this is also part of the journey
quite honestly . . . this little "delete all your comments journey"
was not at all fun!! I felt awful about it and still do . . .

These are the times when I know why I am a designer . . .
and not a computer programmer like my husband. . .

but I am quite sure of one thing . . .
that I won't ever make that same mistake again . . . ever!!!
I just want you to know that your comments have and still do . . .
mean the world to me!!!
and a little "french bird" just mentioned to me . . .
that I could change my settings - to allow anyone to leave a comment
(not just people who have accounts)
Thank you miss Kim - much, much appreciated!!!
just wanted you to know . . .
and I hope you understand!
