The Flashlight
The other evening our power went out during a small storm. The Wife was out that evening so it was just mew and my 3-year son. Talk about cool.
Naturally when your power goes out at night you have 2 options for lighting – candles and/or flashlights. We went with both.
The interesting thing was the timing of this loss in electricity. Earlier that day I had retrieved a small but powerful halogen flashlight from my car to replace its batteries. As it turns out, the flashlight we keep in the kitchen for occasional use was on its lest leg and so was completely useless for us when we lost power. Fortunately for having intuitively brought my car’s flashlight up that day, my son and I were not stranded in the dark.
Little things like this really impress me. I think it shows how significant a role intuition plays in our lives. Not just for life-changing decisions and events but also for small little conveniences like this. Just wanted to share.
