LOST AND FOUND! (or - Password reset)



I have been away for almost a year.  I did not remember my password.  What I thought it was, wasn't. So - this blog is about the importance of backups.  Do you?  Should you?  Where to keep the important information you will NEED if you wish to continue sharing thoughts.

This is the conclusion I have reached.  Have a notebook, notes on your phone, or some area where ALL important bits of information are together.  I was asked my Social Security number the other day.  Did I remember it?  Well, I remembered 8 of the 10 numbers,  I was talking to a doctors office and one of the symptoms of my issue was forgetfulness.  Was I embarrassed?  Yes.  (When I called back to make my appointment, they didn't even ask that bit of information.)

Am I still Peaceful?

Yes.  I am.  I have been retired for sometime now and find new ways to not work.  One would think I could remember my passwords under these circumstances, but obviously, retirement is not a given that you will still have information on the tip of your tongue.

So:  Have a plan.  Have a place.  Make sure that your will, insurance papers and passwords are where you can find them easily!

God bless!
