No Power

Strange how we can be affected when our creature comforts become compromised. We lost electrical power early this morning. Probably some maintenance thing. But then I had set myself a few things to achieve today, and most of them where with using my computer. As I sat on my chair on the front veranda and had coffee this morning, it dawned upon me again that we are so conditioned that we are sometime unaware of the wonderful richness we are blessed with in life.

We live on a farm in the mountains surrounded by indigenous forrests with green fields as far as the eye can see. Blue skies with fluffy clouds slowly making their way east to the sea. The only barrier to happiness here is my mind. I am feeling frustrated because I can't go and do one of my favourite things and that is surfing the net. Food for thought here. We are in a place on this planet where we are determined to become self sufficient and less dependant on the system, and here I am having emotions about the system. Well, after a walk on the propperty to survey the rich growth in our new vegetable gardens soon gave me better perspective. Be more aware of the things you attach to and be more greatful for our blessings living out here in the country.
