The Meredith Family has been without power for almost 5 days due to the aftermath of hurricane Ike. Now we know how Tina Turner must have felt, we really took a beating!

It’s astonishing how reliant we are on electricity. Without it we’re pretty lost, but since we almost always have it we never stop to think about how amazing it is. Little things like turning on a lamp, watching TV, enjoying a cold beverage, and opening the garage door are all things we all take for granted. These are truly wonderful things we all do everyday and never think twice about… but maybe we should.

The next time you see an employee from your local power company, shake his or her hand and tell them we couldn’t make it with out them. Buy them a drink, give them a hug, let them know what they do matters – I know I will.
