There are many modern conveniences we take for granted daily. Recently, when we had this ice/snow storm, my family went 5 days without power. I do little things everyday that I don't even realize how helpful they are. When our power went out, we had no microwave, stove, heat, refrigerator, tv, and PHONE CHARGERS and etc.... After being home 5 days with my parents and all this stuff missing, I appreciate it way more. My daddy did show me plenty of ways to survive without power though. I'll be honest though a gas heater does not work like the heat. Everything I named sounds so simple to live without, when in reality it is so hard. Just imagine, no microwave, you can't have all those pizza rolls, hot pockets, etc. Now with the microwave being gone you gotta use the stove, well with no power that's gone too. You honestly don't realize how much the little things mean.
