We made it through another blast from ....
Power/Heat check, InternetTelefon check, fallen massive tree branch being removed check Unscathed Heat/Air conditioning unit check, completely intact porch/railing check, unharmed roof check. No busted windows check. Feeling so happy/content check

Now everything is looking right side up again. It all started Saturday with the Internet Modem not working. I called for service with an estimated wait time of next Day or in two Days. As always never what we want to hear, but there it was. Ahhhh yes...getting back to what really matters....what was that again? Just kidding. What matters is the ability to find the bright side to everything. In my case I sat down and wrote in my new journal my Daughter just got me for Christmas. I called my Friends and enjoyed all the extra time to let my mind wander to a rosy future....

By Sunday morning my re-energized positive attitude came in handy...for now a Winter storm has hit our area and with it the by now all familiar level of damage....at least to my little parcel of Paradise. You see I have that dubious pleasure of getting the neighbors Trees to wreak havoc in my yard. Two years ago I lost my car port thanks to the Tree of the Neighbor to the right. Act of God their insurance company claimed and the amount of compensation zero. A future blog post waiting to happen. And now two years later there it was....a massive part of an old Elm Tree from the Neighbor to my left engulfing my back deck, not to mention parts of my yard.

Then it kicked in, and all that was right came shining through and I was filled with contentment over how wonderful everything had turned out.

The moral of the Story is this. Things will always happen, what we make of it ,....that is entirely up to us.
