I learned a few things this week...
:: trees falling down around you in the midst of a storm in the middle of the night sound like a billard hall...
:: ear plugs are essential to sleeping through those sounds...
:: my guy is a relentless provider, I don't think his mind stopped working, planning, gathering for eight days...
:: the fates have a way of making one smile... that same generator we plugged in two months ago, only to have our power restored two hours later saved us from the cold and dark this time...
:: our neighbors and community leaders are truly giving and supportive...
:: lack of television is not a loss, lack of news and connectedness is...
:: having school cancelled for five days straight is incredibly stressful...
:: power executives sometimes hide the truth and are not always good at communicating...
:: mother nature can be exceptionally surprising and relentless and beautiful all at the same time.
We're basking in the glow of the lights in our home this weekend, while wondering why most of our street is still without power. Feeling lucky, loved and ready to get back to normal. I hope this weekend finds you surrounded by warmth, light and all things you love.
