I read this morning where Governor Holcomb activated the Indiana National Guard to help with hurricane relief efforts. Around 400 soldiers will be coming together today to be in Florida this week. Indiana Task Force 1 — a team of 80 central Indiana first responders — are already there and will be located just outside Milton’s cone for deployment once the storm passes through.
Those living in the south certainly need all the help they can get.
I spoke with another friend on Tuesday who said Duke Energy is sending employees to Florida, as well. It’s heartwarming to see people — and companies — helping other people.
The problems faced by many in Florida make my challenges seem small.
Thinking you might loose your home sure puts my current challenge into perspective. Heading to Seymour every day to get another house on the market is not fun — but the house is probably not going to be washed away this evening.
When you make a home your own, you paint the colors you like. You may choose a paint color to match furniture rather than stay with neutral walls. In many cases, that’s not what will help sell a house to others. I’m soon to begin painting like it’ my job. For this girl who continues to practice retirement… I guess it IS my job. 😉
