I wept today. The simple and understated segment on CBS 60 Minutes tonight featuring WNC and the storm really moved me. Seeing our story, even as watered down and short as it was, seemed very affirming. "Look, this is what we've been through!" Most people have no idea of the devastation suffered in the WNC area.

I spent the day today serving food as a volunteer for World Central Kitchen. Up until now, I have been the recipient of the goodwill of others. Taking showers and dropping my laundry at the FEMA disaster relief station. Having a free meal from the Red Cross mobile lunch and dinner truck now and then. There were conversations too. I met a wonderful woman named Rosita, from Alaska. Here without pay to help. She is a spiritual counselor who attends to tragedies all over the US. As a volunteer.

In a way, I will admit I've felt a little guilty getting a free lunch or dinner from the Red Cross food truck.. "It should go to someone who needs it more than I do." After all, I have electricity now, finally. Right?

What I saw today though, serving food to everyone, whether they "needed" it or not really opened my eyes. We listened to people's stories. We talked to them, we listened to them. EVERYONE has been traumatized. We, have been through trauma together. Everyone was extremely grateful. Everyone had a story. We saw tears from some. Gratitude from everyone.

There's healing magic in a free hot meal whether you "need it" or not, and someone that is just there to support you through all of this is wonderful. That realization is what hit me today. To give and to receive the gift and magic of food, support and love...just because, and whether you "need it" or not. The fullness of that realization is what moved me today. I am changed.
Thank you to everyone who fed me and talked to me and did my laundry and set up showers and drinking water during this tragedy and thank you to those of you we fed today. We heal each other.

Am I alone in wondering what has happened to all our bugs? First the cicadas didn't come as predicted, then almost no fireflies. Now I'm noticing that the "June Bugs" that usually come out in July have not made an appearance in my area. What's going on? Where have all the bugs gone?

Hi everyone! I’d say retirement is a big “adjustment!”
Remember the big ficas tree? It’s living in a nursery in Johnson City. It’s HUGE!!
