Giving Thanks

Well, I have held it together pretty well so far although I think I’m finally beginning to fray a bit this morning.

We’ve been without power for six days now and the week was super busy work wise. Meanwhile, we’ve been holed up at my inlaws since their power came back on Thursday and its a bit tight here.

But my family and I are all healthy and managing to fit some enjoyment into the mix. And despite a few fallen trees that did not hit the house, everything appears to be in good order on the home front once we get power back.

I’m incredibly grateful for my good fortune in life, feel blessed well beyond what I deserve and in the bigger existential scheme this past week has been small potatoes.

My heart goes out to those who are suffering much more than me and I am hoping that I might get myself to a place soon where I have the energy and minutes to help them out in some small way.
