Power

Chapter 3 — Enabling Modernization of the Electric Power System
We went a little over 24 hours without power during 90-degree weather, and it occurred to me how amazing it is when you lose something and get it back.  You appreciate it SO much more.  Why can't we be like that every day?

How cool would it be to get up every morning and want to dance because you flipped a switch and it shone this amazing light on you, or you turned on the AC and suddenly that cool air made the world feel good again?

I want to find a way to hold onto that amazing feeling.  Like a kid discovering the magic of electricity.  SO many treasures that it holds, the internet, TV, AC, a fridge full of food, clean running water.  So many things we take for granted.  Things that some people don't even have!  How is it possible we take that for granted every day?

I don't want to take a minute of my life for granted anymore.  I want to wake up every day and acknowledge the miracle of the life we have, COVID-19 and all, the world is still a miraculous place to live in and I'm happy that I get to wake up every morning and take advantage of these treasures we've been given!
