Power Outage
« on: October 30, 2012, 04:21:11 PM »
As you all know, I was hit by Sandy last night. We have lost power and I have been told we will likely not have it for a few days. The local library, however, does have power, which is where I'm posting from now. I doubt I will have much opportunity to use it, however. So, until I get power back, I'm on a leave of absence.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

Everyone's fine. Got hit fairly hard, was out of power for a few days, but we've got near clear skies now. Manchester started flooding tuesday night though, in a storm that came up behind Sandy.
