There are lessons you learn in the midst of storms in your life

Hurricane Mathew will be talked about for decades. He didn't have to hit you head on for you to feel the devastation from this powerful storm. We have power now and are thankful for all the crews who came from all around to help. There are some cities who were so badly damaged that they will never be the same. Personally I thought the lessons I learned twelve years ago when there were widespread electricity outages helped but as I faced it again there was more to learn. This time I am writing it all down to make sure if it ever happens again I will be better prepared. So with no electricity it was unbearably hot inside so I sat outside and started writing the first pages of my fourth book in the Just Flush It series. Today we will throw out all our food that didn't survive the storm and we will fix the broken fence and clean up all the debris. We are thankful that is nothing compared to many others that were in hurricane Mathews path. As you face challenges in your life you have to be thankful that they weren't as bad as they could have been.
