Thankful Thursdays…For the Simple Things in Life
This week had me wondering if moving back to Delray Beach might not be such a bad idea. The whole state of Texas has been experiencing something we never thought we would...snow, ice, temperatures in the teens as far south as the coast.
We lost power Monday evening at 6:30 P.M. and it came back on Wednesday at 1:30 P.M. We lost our water soon after the power went out but it was restored in a few hours.
I don’t take things for granted and these past few days have made me even more appreciative of all that we have been given.
We had no heat and the temperatures outside were in the teens, Inside our temperature was 50 degrees. I loved going into our car to charge devices because it was nice and toasty. So I am so grateful for electricity and in turn the power for heat.
I am thankful for our coffee(s) that begin and end our day...Hot showers and cooking dinner.
The first days were iffy for driving and we are not used to being housebound, so I am thankful for the freedom to go where we want when we want.
And I am grateful for the people who had their power who offered coffee and a charging station to those without.
If you have a roof over your head, please remember those without especially in this weather. I knew that our power would return and I also knew that we could go to relatives who had power. That is not so for them.
I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude. Brene Brown
