These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

August Happines Challenge -- Day 19

That's how much I'll be saving on my electric bill this month. No, it's not much. But that's not the point.
On the 16th, Commonwealth Edison sent those of us participating in the program a notice to reduce our energy consumption during a peak usage time that afternoon. I did. And this morning, I learned my efforts were enough to warrant a discount.
It felt nice to know I helped reduce the stress on our energy grid on a hot August afternoon.
