What A Christmas
Lets just say that it was interesting on Christmas Eve we had thunder and lightening which seemed to go on for 3 hours. It was so loud woke up the whole station and shook the houses. Both myself and the other family thought we would get hit. That was the start to our Christmas Day. Which was not much better up and down the coast. Windows taken out, roofs blown away, a lightstation hit by lightening and heard that was a mess. All the commucations are down along the coast as well.. Thank heaves for the few of us that still have internet and the three homes with real or cell phones. We are then able to pass the weather that way.
Boxing day today and it was a bit better colder but not as wet, no ice pellets, just a bit of snow slush first thing and then gone. Yet the boardwalk was slippery to say the least. Could have been interesting if one of us fell.
But over all the Christmas day was alright for me I had calls from my Family and the neighbours brought part of the dinner over like and old fashion pot luck. I just had to remember that there are so many out here far worst than I was alone here in my house. I did have a house, warm , food and my dog, and there are neighbours, along with our phone. So many have no home, no warmth, no food and no place to go a get a call or even make one. And who knows if they even had family that cared that they had none of that. So when things seem so down I just remember what I was I was lucky to have in my life as a child and now as an adult. My parents always taught us that when we feel like our life is bad just remember those children who where starving and where not that lucky to have dinner to eat. We may not have understood to much what they where getting at then but sure do now. And we are blessed to have been taught that.
So to everyone or anyone who might be reading this.. know that it is not really romantic out here on days like that but it does allow us time to reflect on how good we do have it even out here. I hope the season has been all you hoped. See you later from the Bluff.
