Each year my cities power and fiber optics service create holiday window displays featuring a festive theme. This part of the display is appropriate these days because utility workers are driving around in areal bucket trucks like the one seen here to get the power back on for those who were impacted by the tornadoes of Easter Sunday. Utility workers risk their lives to be sure we can have electricity and fiber optics which powers so much of our own lives.
Restrictions and safety measures are not tyrannical, it’s doing what’s best for the community. Keeping a virus from spreading benefits everyone in the long term. Those who are complaining need to chill out and think about their friends and neighbors. Elected officials are charged with keeping the public safe and to make difficult decisions even when it might cause an inconvenience to some.
Being above the clouds can help take your mind off all the troubles down below. Clouds can be fluffy and pretty but some have as much trouble in them as what your life is on the ground. Having your head in the cloud is a nice, temporary retreat from the woes of life but you can’t stay there. Sometimes we wish we could store all our problems in the cloud. Whatever has you wishing for the clouds is only temporary. It too shall pass like clouds.
In some ways, climbing in the clouds is comforting. You can no longer see how high off the ground you are.

I have been blogging so long I sometimes forget that I have written about a subject more than once here. I guess repetition is not a bad thing or is it? New information and inspiration can create a new line of discussion and that is growth. So, in a nutshell repetition is a good thing.
I want to offer appreciation to local news journalists who are keeping us informed about what is going on in our backyards during these days of Coronavirus and now tornadoes and severe weather. Everywhere there is local information that needs to be reported. The news in your area matters and can impact your life in a profound way. These reporters really do deserve our thanks.
