About to Lose Power

This morning, a semi-truck went down our alley and methodically ripped down all of the power and phone lines that go to our home and all of the homes next to us. To the driver’s credit, he or she did stop. (I’ve been praying for the driver because MAN! I bet they’re having a BAD DAY.)

Within minutes we had a fire truck present. (Downed lines never being safe.) Within a couple of hours, an electric company truck with a GIGANTO new utility pole arrived. And now we’re about to lose power for who knows how long—but honestly, all I can feel about the whole thing is gratitude. How grateful I am that no one was hurt. How grateful I am for such fast emergency service and such prompt electrical service. We are so luxuriously blessed, I simply marvel.

But, I’m also about to go dark—
So here’s to a blessed Friday for you!

Your friend,
Tara B.
