We had a wonderful Thanksgiving - plenty of food with family around the table. We were safe, we were happy, we were blessed.
What will next year's Thanksgiving be like?
The future is so unstable.
The only way to have a repeat of this year is to plan for next year.
Harvests don't happen without planting.
This is still my planting season. I mean this figuratively (although planting a garden is always a good idea).
Planting, and Planning, and Gathering.
If I don't do this, then there will be nothing to keep us alive when we need it.
There will be time to use what I've gathered, but for now I realized I am just too busy to try to use my solar oven and rocket stove. The time for that will be later. (I know it's better to experiment before the disaster so that you know how to use what you have - but, frankly I am just too swamped with work, family, and life!)
At this time of year, we think about family and want our families close to us.
When a disaster strikes we will want our families safe.
Preparing for emergencies helps us feel safe, and be safe. It gives us a secure feeling that
All Is Safely Gathered In
