I don't have 5 things for a Friday post this week, but I do have ONE thing that I feel I handled well and I should celebrate those small wins for myself more often.
When we had the ice storm last week, I stayed home from work, rather than try to be a hero and get out on the road. I don't feel one ounce of bad for not taking what I felt was an unacceptable risk! Being home alone for those three days was hard. I was a little weirded out over my tree limbs laying across the truck, resting on the chimney, and falling into my front yard. But I did get out there on Saturday and using my loppers, power saw, and chain saw take care of it. I cut the limbs into manageable lengths, stacked them neatly, raked my yard, put up my tools, then went inside and made a lunch for myself. It didn't take whiskers.
*And sometimes I think to myself, "I can handle these things". And then Thursday happened. But that is a story for another day.
