Weathering the Storm

Watching the news and seeing the destruction caused by tornadoes in the south was heart-breaking. I can't imagine going through that and losing everything. It may me really take notice of an article in AAA Living on "Weathering the Storm". Lots of good information such as:

*Looking for things that might be affected by weather such as electronics (unplug them as bad weather approaches) or an old tree that could fall on your house. Take note also of outside furniture that could be blown in the storm. (My brother-in-law had the neighbor's trampoline fly through their front picture window.) 

*  You should have an updated inventory of all your possessions and valuables. Use a camera or your phone to take photos or a video of the contents of your house. Then store these in the Cloud or off-site. If a tragedy occurs, you may be hard pressed to remember everything you've lost.

*Review your home-owners and auto policies. Do you understand everything they cover?

* You should have a flashlight, extra water, food,batteries and a battery-powered radio.

All really good tips that we are going to implement. The May/June issue of AAA Living has more info on what to do during and after a storm. Hopefully you will never need it!

Sign of Spring!

I AM

I saw this on the Key Lime blog and thought it was fun; a list of observations of the current moment. Right here, right now.

 I AM

READING She Walks In Beauty A Woman's Journey Through POEMS by Caroline Kennedy
WISHING  for a Lightroom Tutor
ENJOYING being able to run pain-free again
WONDERING when my daffodils will open
LOVING the longer days and hours of sunlight
NEEDING to cut back on my sugar intake
WEARING sweaters again since it's so cold and rainy
FOLLOWING a new blog  A Holy Experience
NOTICING I need a haircut and color
THINKING about making this cake
FEELING blessed
MAKING a no-sew tutu for my baby granddaughter
LOOKING FORWARD TO planting my garden
HOPING the sun shines tomorrow
LIKING Kraft's Mayo with Olive Oil


What would be on your "I AM" list?

Happiness Advice from Steve Covey

I saw this and thought it just about covers it all! I know there are several on this list that I need to work on. It's been a while since I've experienced #8.  #6 really hit home when I thought about all the tragedies in the news lately.

Is there one on the list that really hits home for You?
