We stock up on essentials. Get the milk. Make sure the emergency equipment is available. Are there enough batteries for those battery operated items. Water. Some cash in case bank machines go down. I now have some of those LED candles.
But that's for the weather storm, what about our life storms. Health issues and how to cope. Can they exacerbate if not handled well? Financial. Post Christmas brings in those bills. Getting out of debt one payment at a time. Problems at work. Dealing with the conflicts. Relationship issues. Well face them before the wind picks up. Needing to make changes and the emotions they bring. Sudden tragedies. Sudden death. The biggest of storms!!
Sometimes it may feel that there is one storm after another one. Hard to brace for another one when not quite finished with the previous one. Surrounding yourself with people that help with your storms and you with theirs. Maybe pooling those resources- especially the emotional ones.

My sympathies to the brave folks who must be ready and able to help others during the bitter cold days here in Manitoba ... especially the first responders. And to the technicians who rush out to fix broken furnaces. And to my dogs who can only be outside to do their business for a minute before they have to charge back into the house.
ReplyDeleteYes while we are warm, there are those people who keep the system running. And it is a hard time for pets!!
