So it's the day before the start of the Holiday season and I am sure some of you are wondering where I have been.
Well we had a State wide power outage leaving some Mainers without power for 5-7 days and I am sure there are people like myself still feeling some of the storms effects.
In a strange way being without power made it easy to conserve because we only had what we had. No water at first because without power the well can not be pumped and no wi fi or an abily to charge your phone unless you use your car but even what gas you have is precious because without power a gas station can not pump gas. And if you have to evcauate and who knows how far you want to make sure you have enough gas. Social media and checking in with friends becomes secondary to let's prepare for the worse but ride it out like it's nothing..
Belive me storms like that make you greatful because you know with 79-90 mile winds it could of been worse for us and it was for many Mainers across the state. That storm also hit hard in New Hampshire.
That storm has taught me many lesson in which I promise to put into practice and share with you as life here on the Ridge gets back to as normal as it can be with winter on the way. I still look around my land with trees down knowing that next summer this city girl might have to learn to use a saw. Stay tune that might be pretty funny, wearing my flowered overhuals..
I have many stories to share and even hopefully some good news over these holiday and into 2018.
So Happy Thanks for giving day and may you really take the time to be grateful for what you have. We have more than enough, let kindness lead the way this Holiday because we are all one storm away from being homeless or devestated by one. Weather man made or mother nature.
Spread a little Joy, reach out and tell someone your grateful they are in your life because everyday is precious and we should be thankful were in each other's lives because when social media is cut off you really are living in the present moment by moment.
And the silence will either be deafening or will bring peace.
Me, I found peace and my purpose in a pomegranate pucker and haven't stopped thinking about it since.
So I am grateful to you for reading this blog and putting up with my sometime absences from this format. Understanding that I speak through pictures more then words but I am building back my confendence and soon I will be blogging consistent again.
So until I blog again take care of the ones you love and reach out to those you normally don't and have a wonderful Hoilday weekend.. ❤
