The Power Went Out, So What Did I Do?

This weekend I had plans to write a few blog entries and get a few other things done on my blog.  However, mother nature had a different plan.  A series of windstorms knocked over some trees which took out some power lines which left me in the dark this weekend.

No power.  No Internet.  No lights.

So what does an Inspired Money Maker do in such a situation?

My wife and I started a fire in the fire place downstairs which we haven’t used yet since we moved in.  We toasted some marshmallows, we cooked some hot-dogs and baked some potatoes. 

It was almost like camping.  The fire kept us warm and it provided light (in addition to the candles) and we just sat on the couch staring at it for hours.  It was a really nice vacation for my brain to just sit there and relax, not knowing when the power would come back on.  At any moment it could have been another five minutes or another five hours before the power came back; there was just no way of knowing.

Sometimes it’s just good to stop, relax, appreciate your loved ones and just how little it really takes for us to feel at peace if we simply allow it.
