I Am Blessed

My heat went out today. My canary bird could have been a peep sickle if I had stayed out longer. He's a tough guy because it was only 50 degrees when I came in the house.

My friends came home to a flooded basement, and it's a dandy basement, too.

I had two strong guys carry my space heaters up from the basement so I could keep the pipes from freezing in the back bathrooms and I built a hot dog of a fire in my den. It is not a "white man's" fire with flames licking up the chimney, but a really good fire that puts out heat without waste and takes minimal poking. It has kept me warm all afternoon and evening.

I am comfortable, fed, my critters are happy and tomorrow is another day.

I am blessed.
