What If The SHTF?

 

With all of the crazy crap that is going on in our world right now you may be wondering what if the $hi! hits the fan and things get really bad?  I personally am not wondering what if?  I’m watching, and wondering when and I don’t think it is far off into our future.  All you have to do is pay attention with eyes and ears wide open and use common sense to realize things aren’t good.  The rest of the world sees it, but a large portion of our population has been in denial and that is the part that worries me the most because ignorance creates chaos.

 

My home is my sanctuary and I relish the time I spend in it  Quality time spent with good friends, creative endeavors, writing and journaling as well as relaxation and quiet time is my focus.  While I am using a lot of what I already have on hand I am also adding a few more items and restocking my supplies like ink, tape, glue and copy paper to make sure I am able to continue my creative activities.

 

I am also trying to eat well (I tend to be an emotional eater) and get good sleep, although I must admit my sleep has been compromised these days as I often wake up with a busy mind.  I’m rolling with it by taking a catnap (literally, there is usually a cat in my lap) here and there when I feel tired.  I am also putting a lot of focus into stocking my home with wholesome, good quality whole foods, enough food to last me several months to a year should I need to, the same thing with pet food and supplies, toiletries and cleaning products.

 

This is not a political post, it is a reality post.  I feel strongly that it is time to prepare for the worst and pray for the best.  It is easy to feel helpless and give into despair and depression, but we can’t do that.  I’m doing all that I can to protect my physical and mental health in the while battening down the hatches and making sure I have everything I need to weather this impending storm.  I feel very uneasy about the future of our country right now.  With proper planning and preparation I hope it will be enough to make a difference and give me the peace of mind and confidence to make it through.  How are you feeling?
