After feeling displaced after the recent storm, there is something inherently comforting about being in a familiar place. Although hotel living is difficult and I am realizing how much of a homebody I really am, things could be much worse.
My hydro situation is at least another week from being rectified and although I felt great frustration today, I stopped for a moment to count my blessings and realize how fortunate I am. I have a roof over my head, I am surrounded by warmth and I am among friends. Waking up to this view isn’t half bad either.

My new work family is looking after me and making sure I don’t feel like I am being a burden. I enjoyed a nice warm meal today, compliments of Karen, and I will sip on my glass of wine and bury all the negative feelings I had today towards HydroOne. Life is much too short to spend these moments being bitter and angry.

Way to look at the positives. Sure, it sucks, but there are good things coming out of it.
Beautiful place, glass of wine, good friends trying their best…onward.
Yes, life could be infinitely worse!
It might be inconvenient to not be at home, but at least you know you have friends who really care!
I sure do….thanks Janna!
