Yesterday we have been 8 hours without electrical power at home. I took that chance to enjoy the evening with candles, open fire and without computer.
My experience was, that the environment and the atmosphere contributes a lot to feeling well. And it was very quiet, a situation I experience seldom. It was sooo relaxing.
And of course the situation revealed a big dependency on electrical power. Even while brushing my teeth I noticed that is a battery driven one - that after some time needs to be recharged.
Maybe now, I understand, what people mean, when they decide to plug off sometimes - to recharge the batteries...

That is true, is quite difficult to try to understand how older people could live in that conditions -without electricity- ande be happy...
But is good try a bit of it... and see that you can keep living!
We had the same experience awhile back for several days during an ice storm. We had no running water hence had to get some to flush toilets. Had a propane fireplace that gave us some heat. Not a pleasant experience when the power is out for days at a time.
goal setting tips
Here in India power rostering an dunscheduled cuts are a frequent happening.
I want to subscribe to you posts by email. Is there a way of doing it?
How do you manage to get "unscheduled cuts" in India? Would be interested, how other cultures do.
Regarding subscription: I personally find it very inefficient to get news or blog posts/articles by email.
Much more efficiently is to use RSS feeds.
This blog supports RSS feed. As you have a blogger profile I imagine you also have an account at google - that implies you could use the Google Reader for reading RSS feeds. There are other RSS Readers (e.g. you can also use your browser). RSS feeds are - let's say - "a light-version" of a websites, reduced to the basic information with a link to the original article. If you still prefer email, there is a service called "Feedmailer" (never used it so I don't have experience with it). HTH, and best regards, Martin.
I noticed, you use gmail also - so Google Reader would be the perfect addition. email is for personal messages and in general more important than new interesting articles on the web. Hence I separate these two and read news especially in short breaks etc.
