One I like to vacuum. It makes me feel calm. No power also equals no vacuum, so instead we picked up all the twigs and branches around the house, raked our entire lawn, pulled some very dead plants out of pots, and swept the steps. Then we headed back to our friend and saviour who has power. Her power is not just electrical, but more importantly gracious and welcoming. The other path I take is to compare myself to people who have a worse crisis than I do. I've been told this isn't really helpful to some people, but it really helps me. I'm still praying for the people of Haiti, and now I've added Chile in there. My goal is not to forget these people when our crisis if over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
