The only light in my basement studio was from an open door and a flashlight, so I spent my time making elephants, which don't require any power equipment and don't need to be precise. That's 20 elephant tea lights and 60 mini elephants. You know what else I did while making elephants in the quiet basement? I was able to think hard about a situation that has been bothering me off-and-on for about a year. There are some unknown waters ahead now, which is never a comfortable feeling. But I was able to sort out my conflicting thoughts. I clarified my priorities and my values. I decided what and who matter to me, and that everything else really doesn't. So going forward, no matter how things unfold I think I will make the right decisions for myself, if I use my values as my guide. Don't get me wrong, even though I got a lot done during the power outage, I sure was glad when the air conditioning came back on!
(On Friday, June 29, a rare "super-derecho" storm clobbered the mid-Atlantic region. My power was out until Tuesday afternoon.)
