It’s funny how some events in your life you will never forget for big reasons (wedding day, birth of a child, anniversaries, graduations etc..) One day for me was one year ago yesterday when we had a bad storm and my finished basement flooded- corner to corner. What a mess that was and being on Spring Break that was not my ideal idea of how I wanted to spend my last couple of days ( pulling up carpet, boxing up everything etc) Yesterday the rain repeated itself and I had a complete flashback and did not sleep well to say the least.
I love sleeping through a good storm in fact I always felt most relaxed and liked the sound of thunder, until last year. Trauma and stress is real and it comes in all forms. I hope there comes a day when I do not have a trigger to a large rainfall but for now it is what it is. I am grateful I am not cleaning up a basement today and over the next few days- my basement is dry !
