Make Good Choices And Be Safe

---

This husband and I…

Decided to get ready for the big storm…the big nationwide storm heading this way…been on the news for weeks…

Reporters talking about preparation…what supplies to get…how to drive on ice…the Governor holding a press conference talking about the power grid and how to keep warm…locals rushing to HEB…aisles packed…shelves bare…

Did what every responsible couple would do when a storm’s brewing…went to Buc-ee’s…bought needed supplies just in case…

Stopped at the grocery as well…grabbed this and that…making sure to have enough of the one thing this old gal needs to survive…cheese, cheese and more cheese…

Because it’s supposed to be bad…really really bad…like super-de-duper Texas panic bad…like below freezing bad…like a low of 21 degrees bad…

But it’s nothing…absolutely nothing compared to what’s happening at home…Iowa home…51 below zero windchills home…not good for kitties…not good for anyone else either…

But have to marvel at the difference in reactions from one area to the other…Texas…warning, worry, panic…Iowa…been there, done that…just kind of, no pun intended…chill…

And so it is…in life…how we react to adversity, potential danger, imminent threat depends on so many things…where we live…how we look…what we’ve seen…

Just because it’s not scary for one…doesn’t mean it’s not scary for another…and as this storm of the century takes shape be sure to make good choices…and be safe…
