This storm has gotten me thinking about colonial times. Think about the challenges they faced of a new world, new weather, new food, etc. They came in built shelters, started fire, and hunted for food.
Think about their weather. It couldn’t have been much different from what we are facing today. Harsh winds, brutal cold, little vegetation. Think of their architecture and how it was designed with fire at the center for both cooking and heat. How they didn’t have modern amenities like insulation, double pane windows, or storm doors. They dug holes in the frozen yard to go to the bathroom. They chopped down trees with axes. They lived without flannel sheets, fleece, or gore-tex.
… And they made it… They lived… And so will we.
Lift your spirits, warm your hearts and look to the colonials for strength.
