Hello, and I hope life is good and moving in the right direction for you.
I have learned to be happy with what I have. I have also learned to be content with what I don't have. But, I don't think I'd ever be content without having electricity.
Yesterday, I was bored and was expressing my need for some excitement. Such as a Hurricane Party. Something, anything to liven up my day. I love bad weather, I love the unpredictable nature of a storm. The whipping wind, the heavy rain, the loud thunder, the lightning; it is exciting, risky, and at times a little dangerous.
What happened instead, was a very quick Thunder storm came by. It lasted a mere 3-5 minutes, over in the blink of an eye. I had been outside on the balcony watching it. I was feeling the wind and the rain. I saw the neighbors belongings get blown off their balconies. Empty beer cans, styrofoam coolers, and clean laundry free-falling to the ground, maybe never to be seen again. Pine cones and pine needles strewn on the pavement, leaves and branches cracking and falling. It was great! Then it ended.
I headed back inside, moping to the kitchen thinking, "What a tease". Disappointed, I thought I'd make some coffee. Without thinking, just using muscle memory, I flicked the kitchen light switch on and took a step. You know, one fluid motion, flick and step. I flicked, stepped, stepped and no electricity!
No storm, no electricity, no coffee, no internet, no tv, no a/c. No nothin' but boredom again. So, I have realized my true love for electricity and won't take it for granted any more.
Pursuing peace and happiness while loving electricity.
Laura
