Early this morning water service was restored after our day-long water outage in most of Chattanooga. Water is a necessity and without it life can be very challenging if not impossible. It’s good that basic things like cooking, laundry, brushing teeth and other things are possible again. Thanks to Tennessee American Water our water service utility for their hard work in getting things flowing again.
It’s Friday the 13th this coming Friday. Be ready for those who are superstitious.
Humanity is needed more than ever.
Sympathy and empathy are needed more.
Blogging in the moment is how I post best. My favorite blogging tools are my eyes and ears. If one is paying attention to what’s going on around them inspiration will present itself. For me that means blogging and posting at a moment’s notice. It’s amazing what material and ideas you come across.
Grief I have found is like spaghetti. There is a whole lot going on with a plate full and you don’t know which strands to start with first. What I mean by that is every strand is a different issue in your grieving whether it be the loss of a loved one or a friend. The size pile could represent how many years where you in each others lives. There is also on what terms did you leave things when they departed. How the spaghetti tastes could be how much you enjoyed your time together because delicious spaghetti is something you like to have all the time.
How big of a bite of this plate full of issues are you going to take and does it all make sense. This is what I am dealing with is how do I address all of it. One bite at a time makes the most sense but there is frustration and how do you cope with it.
The picture above is plain spaghetti it’s when you add sauce and cheese is when it could become something different indeed. I hope this all makes sense.
