One Year After Maria

It's been a year since Maria devastated the rock on which I've lived over half my life.  I was fortunate, a little water, no real damage.  I have friends who are still waiting for the insurance payouts necessary to repair their homes.  That's unconscionable.  Especially when we're in the middle of another hurricane season. 

I look back on the past year, my life has definitely changed for the better since Maria.  Changed my diet during the two months we were without power; lost weight, kept it off.  That's a plus.  I have a part time volunteer position that I enjoy.  Another plus.  Less spent on food means more for savings.  Again, a plus.  More exercise, more stamina.  Plus, plus. 

As much as I dread the thought of ever having to go through another hurricane, I know I can survive.  That's a plus in itself.
