At 9 AM, Bob put a note on the door canceling class as it wasn’t safe since without power our studio was too cold and dark. After he turned away several students with apologies, we set up a nest in the entryway by the glass door so we had enough light to read and enough blankets for warmth. Just then the power returned!
We shifted to prepare for the 1030 class. With lights and heat and music on, we broke down our little nest and returned the space to normal. Students arrived, and we started on time, grateful for the Seattle city light workers.
Have you ever noticed that when you accept things you cannot change, sometimes they change? How grateful are you for your “normal”? Ki to Happiness is especially thankful for all the little things that are really big: heat, light, warmth, shelter, plumbing and the infrastructure that supports us.
