What do you feel when the power goes out? When your big important project you're working on online suddenly goes black. Is it panic? Fear? Frustration? Maybe once in a while relief. For many of us, this is a minor inconvenience to our otherwise spoiled life. I took the opportunity to assess this during the last power outage, and it struck me how many things I take for granted in life. Heaps and heaps of good fortune and blessings that I enjoy daily go unnoticed until they are pointed out. I've got to enhance my habits of gratitude to give the giver of good fortune at least the daily 'thank you' he is due for the basics I assume will always be there.
