What Else?

I wake up today with heavy rain, a brownout, and no water. What else? Well, I try to calm down for I don't want to start my day in a negative way. I never complain for I know this is just temporary. Then I pray to God, ask Him for forgiveness and thank Him for the blessings of the day. Good thing the power and water are back, and heavy rain stops. My daughter is able to go to school not being wet at all. Thanks God Almighty! That's the power of being positive in life. How about you?

Yes, you have a point for we don't have rain for long now. But I hope it won't rain so hard that cause floods and storm surges.

There is no water because it's brownout, no electricity. There is brownout because there is heavy rain. That's life. Sometimes we have to expect for the unexpected..... lol

Is a 'brownout' another name for a power cut? Sorry you had to experience it, but you dealt with it in the right way. No good getting stressed and upset.

Yes, we call it brownout or blackout for power outage. Yes, I tried my best not to be stessed and upset.

Starting the day with Thanksgiving and prayer is the best way to start the day. It helps us focus on the positive rather than the negative.
