Sandy

Water, amazing isn't it? 



 Our Bodies consist and exist because of water without it we' would die and because of it we can and many have died. You can ice skate on it, drink it, shower and bath in it, play with a boogie or surf board and sail a ship.Oh but the "OCEAN" will make you respect all that you can do.

The "Ocean" will never let you forget the power it possesses and how it can put a smile of joy on your face or tears in it's place. Today because of "SANDY" the "OCEAN" prove that very fact.

To those who have lost loved ones our hearts go out to you, no words are found to aptly express or covey our sorrow for Sandy at her worst she gave her best.

 Now, the clean up begins that will take resources and time along with the sorrow we still look for that better tomorrow.

Like all tragedies we find a way to move forward while picking up the pieces putting things back together, those who are lost we always want to remember.

Soon will come the close of this year as quickly December is near
Promises to be better prepared we'll all make and we mean it for God's sake
Somehow we fall short or so it seems
Especially when we are caught off guard or unaware or when we dare; dare at the "OCEAN" stare

We stare in disbelief and now we seek relief, relief from the disaster and our broken hearts and lives
Today we still hear peoples cries
Cries because this was what we call "Mother Nature" at her worst

Subways flooded, cars muddied, cranes blowing in the wind
Grand Central Station looked like it had come to the end
Empty of people or any type of life
I look at that and said "Oh, now that ain't right."

All I could come up with or say even to this very day.....
You have to respect the Ocean......

Footnote: To those who have been affected you are in my prayer all of our prayers around the world. To those who have lost loved ones I am and we are so very sorry and send our human comforting thoughts and love.

We welcome a New Year full of hope it will be the year! The year we find real love or get that dream job or the year that finally everything in life is just perfect. Yes, the New Year we for some reason believe it to be magical and you know what for some it does work out that way, while for others it might be worse or just the same as the others past. 

So here we go Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year where folks seem for the most part to have celebrating and family as a priority. Personally I would be happy if there was no crime, no drunk driving and world peace. Awe too much to ask for? I can dream can't I? 

What will the year 2013 bring to us all around the world? I pray and hope that it brings civility along with prosperity beyond what we have been experiencing add in low not lower but low gasoline prices and it's would be a banner year. I guess we all just have to "wait and see," as they say.
