Friday’s A Taste of Flava
Stay Aware and Be Prepared

What do you do when you hear warnings of a storm heading your way? You follow the reports. Some information shifts, and some stays the same. Meanwhile, you’re trying to figure out what to prepare for.

Last weekend, our power flickered on and off. We were lucky it didn’t go out completely.

Well, here we are again. My daughter is ordering supplies and groceries that will be helpful if we lose power.

I appreciate the preparation. It’s better to be prepared than wishing you had been. We live on a hill and close to Puget Sound, so the rain and winds can hit us pretty hard.

It’s interesting how my body seems to give me its own weather report ahead of time. My hands and left hip have been speaking up this morning.

I don’t know if I would call that a blessing. 🤣

But despite the predicted storm and the discomfort I’m experiencing, it’s still doable. I slept well, and overall, my body is doing fine. I’m grateful for that. 🙏🏼

Now, I may have to turn my heater on or settle under my electric blanket because, girl… I am cold!

What do you do when you hear a storm that could affect your area is heading your way? Do you stock up early, charge everything, or wait to see what happens?

I feel blessed to live in the Pacific Northwest. We have our weather challenges, but when I see what people in other parts of the country and the world endure, I’m reminded not to take our quieter days for granted.

Stay aware and be prepared to the best of your ability. A little preparation can bring some peace of mind when you hear that rain hitting your window.
