that Tropical Storm Ernesto didn’t turn into a hurricane and wasn’t even a strong tropical storm. Our state, learning from last year’s marathon of hurricanes closed most businesses on Tues and today. Although by this a.m. most people were called back to work since we really didn’t experience much. I am thankful for one. Some folks are complaining that the "media" got everyone into a frenzy and it turned out to be a dud. I wonder where their brains are…I mean really…the Hurricane Center and the media weather people aren’t God. They can’t predict 100% correct forecasts! We just prepare for the worst and hope for the best…that is exactly what happened. Our hurricane season has been great thus far but we still have September and October. Hopefully nothing else will manifest in the waters. We had to cancel bible study and a graduation of our soul care students on Thursday. I guess this was a forced vacation of sorts at least for me. I needed it. In NY we had snow days, in FL we have hurricane days 
I know its no comparison as a snow storm won’t necessarily ruin your house or kill you but I used to look forward to those days…not so much with Hurricane days but when they turn out to be "not much of a thing" I love it. I sleep, I sleep some more. I read. I hang with my familia who I love so much. I don’t have pressure to do anything…but alas, we are back to normal and thus the craziness of my days return.
“It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence liberates others.”
We have gotten this crazy idea that weather can be controlled or something because we “need” it to be good for us. Up where I am, we don’t have much for weather that destroys - the occaisional tornado, but not much. We do, however, have cold. We don’t close for snow. Goodness, we’d be shut down for months - most of the year. But if the thermometer reads -40 Celsius, the school buses do not run, and if your car won’t start, people understand.
Glad the hurricaine did not materialise. Keep safe.
