Weathering the storm . . .

This October 2012 was a very unpredictable one. The weather was forecasted and finally the meteorologist got it right. We weren't ready for what was to come. For the first time that I could ever remember New Jersey was at a stand still. Hurricane Sandy along with other weather fronts shut down our state. Devastation everywhere. No power, no heat, no food; in some areas, but most of all no gas or it was scarce because it takes electricity to run the pumps. Most areas had no electricity because of down power lines. My God is merciful and loving and we made it through. As of today, Nov. 7th some of my family is still without power, but we have weathered the storm regardless of this. Yes, material thing will come and go, but there is nothing that can take the place of the coming together of family and friends. All of my gems are safe and sound. All tucked away with love.
