I am grateful for a new year, with a fresh start! The year 2011 brought a lot of experiences in my life that has made me change the way I look at life, and I have truly grown from my challenges and spiritual experiences that I have had. I'm grateful for all of my trials and happy moments! I want to be able to think of ways to be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life is too short to spend it being sad or down. I'm no blogger, so I hope that my desire to do this everyday will continue. I know that if we stay positive, and look up in life, anything negative will become a positive experience! With that said..........Let's Smile!

SMILE #142 Power Outage


There are a few reasons why this post (intended for yesterday 5/21/12) is being posted today! 1: With it being a crazy and hectic day, I just plain forgot! 2: There was a long Power Outage yesterday, so I couldn't post for a while!

But a power outage can be such a fun thing, and there is a reason to smile about it!  It gives everyone a chance to make us all grateful for that power on a daily basis,  it makes us realize how much we really depend on it, but it also gives us a chance to break away from the daily task's and all the electronic's and do other activities!



I remember as a child, we would have power outages on purpose for a family night activity!  We would do simple dinner's by candlelight, and then my dad would start a fire for us, in the fireplace, while we played board games, or murder in the dark, or hide and seek!  Fun memories!

What makes you smile, when there is a power outage?
