Good morning from the Farmhouse Last night I had a bit of a start. We have the Nest system since the fire and I do like it. But we had an issue with them connecting to the internet after a brief power outage last week… I got them all fixed, except they are saying the one in the basement isn’t connected to the internet (it is) so the system glows orange at night for a moment instead of green, to let us know there’s an ‘issue’. Not a huge deal for me… I know it’s working properly, I’ve tested and retested and I’ll reinstall the basement one. But… Morgan was very upset that his still glowed orange. I pushed the button and his said, ‘Nest ready in Kids bedroom’. I said see- it is fine. And I showed him my app which showed all is green and good. But… he was suddenly right back into fears about our home burning. I told him we are safe. He said- we were ‘safe’ before. The fire wasn’t our fault. Oh, logic. I didn’t realize he still worried about fires. I’m now thinking he may never fully stop worrying about them. And then I thought of what he said and it made me so sad. I pray he feels safe… I need to get these things glowing green today. The photos behind me remind me about the love that was shown after our fire. I focus on that. Hopefully one day Morgan can too. Be kind out there folks.
