We are Not Powerless

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Until we are

Woke up early this morning to have no power. It was kind of nice just to take in the peace and quiet.

Coffee

I’d like to think my life is not shaped and formed by a beverage known as coffee. However, with the power out this morning, I really wanted a cup of coffee. I don’t think it was the caffeine jolt, rather the warmth of a cup of coffee.

Heat

 It was refreshing to recognize that without electricity it’s cold. There is firewood downstairs, but we are not in the emergency situation. But it is a gentle reminder that simple things such as a cup of coffee and heat are not something to be taken for granted.

Getting Back To Power

I am fortunate to be pretty much where I expected to be. With the current regime in power in the United States there are marginalized populations that are at risk of not enjoying things such as heat and a simple cup of coffee. It’s time to stand up for them. It always has.
