In a storm

Tonight is another one with a big storm. The rain is heavy and wind whipped. At work it’s kinda nerve racking as I see it all falling. I have a deep desire to just go home.

Years ago there was a horrible snowstorm that started in the middle of the work day. The highways were flooded with people trying to get home. A friend’s husband decided to just hunker down and work and go home after the worst was over. I remember thinking then as now, I just feel safer at home.

What is it about home? What makes me feel so safe riding out the storm here then at work? But tonight as the wind whips, the rain falls and the power blinks, I’m just happy to ride it out at home.
