Appreciation

I know it's annoying to sit online for gas for hours... Did it yesterday. I know it sucks to have no heat and hot water... Typing this wrapped in blankets. I know having no power sucks and we expect no power for at least another week maybe two.

I get it.

But to the man who pounded on my window almost breaking it on line for gas, the woman who cursed out the fro yo shop owner because an outlet died in the storm (although he graciously let us all charge our devices and use the wifi every day this week) and to my neighbors who called the cops because they couldn't get a spot immediately on the one extension cord to our one working plug for ten buildings in the utility room so we could charge our phones to keep in touch with our families in NY who lost , absolutely EVERYTHING ... Well, I send the most positive energy and compassion to these awful, negative people. I hope they never lose their families, houses, cars or lives in a storm. For them, I hope they duck when the boomerang that is karma comes flying back their way.

Just a thought, read a book, let the sunlight in and drink some tea. It could be so much worse and we should be focusing on HELPING OTHERS instead of squabbling over petty crap.

Kindness works wonders. Pass it on.

My thoughts and prayers are with all my family and friends in Staten Island, Brooklyn, NYC and south NJ.
Whether we have power or not, everyone has shelter with me, just show up. Because this? This is not that bad.
