I recently finished a really good book. Rad Nana gifted it and another goodie to me last December. I read it in three days,
even though I drag my reading to a slow pace near the end. Beautifully written. A lot that happened was on a boat, and though I have no sea legs, I was still engrossed. Now I have several books waiting, but am slow getting started. Can you believe January is almost over? A speedy month indeed for me.

When the storm hits hardest,
they don’t wait it out, they're into it.
While most of us stay warm indoors, linemen and road crews head straight into freezing winds, heavy snow, and dangerous conditions. They climb poles coated in ice, clear roads buried under storms, and work long hours so families can keep the lights on, heat running, and emergency services moving.
This work isn’t easy. It’s physically demanding, mentally exhausting, and often done in silence while the rest of the world sleeps. Yet these crews show up anyway — because they know how much depends on them.
Every warm home, every cleared road, every restored connection is the result of people who refuse to quit when conditions are at their worst.
Today is a reminder that reliability doesn’t happen by chance.
It happens because dedicated men and women put service before comfort.
To every lineman and road crew out there right now:
Your sacrifice matters. Your work is seen. And your communities are grateful.
Just because ...

I have read 3 wonderful books in a row.. Theo of Golden, The Correspondent and Buckeye
Thanks Lorraine, I have just ordered them, and also a copy of The Delight of Being Ordinary: A Road Trip with the Pope and the Dalai Lama (Vintage Contemporaries)by Roland Merullo
Paperback. The latter is one of my fav's and have it to give Rad Nana.
There are always people who are so important to our society and we often forget about them. It's wonderful that you remind us of them. Thanks, Jacki!
Thanks, dear Elenor. I do a lot of reading to do the blog and so I get lots of reminders and am soapy to pass them on. Have a great day!
