Twice in the past week we have experienced brief power outages here in the Lakeside subdivision. Neither outage lasted more than an hour and a half, however, both were rather disruptive. I was reminded once again just how depended I am on having a consistent source of electricity, and wonder if this is necessarily a good thing. Add to this the frustration of having to find flashlights, etc. in the dark, not to mention the rising temperatures in the house, and I was slightly uncomfortable, to say the least (especially when I slammed into a piece of furniture and wound up with a nice bruise in my thigh.
Thing is, as Erin and I sat there in the second outage, I reflected upon the fact that what I was dealing with during these outages, while frustrating in some areas, was an inconvenience, not a problem. There are plenty of things that can be quantified as a problem in my life - however, neither one of us were on life-supporting equipment requiring electricity, so this qualifies as nothing more than an inconvenience.
My question for you today is: How many things that you consider to be major issues or problems in life are really just minor inconveniences that are blown out of proportion due to our lifestyles? I'm working on my list!
See you Sunday!
