Hello Friends,
I hope you are enjoying our most delightful November roller coaster weather. Hot, than cold and everyone is
running around sniffling. Must be fall.
And I'm sure you've all been following the aftermath of disaster - (not talking about the bitter campaign season)
I'm talking about the aftermath of Mother Nature and the destruction that is unfolding in NY/NJ.
A SuperStorm to rival all storms then the one two punch of snow/sleet/rain. You can't write this script
and be believed - it would be like a horror movie. But, sadly it's real and even sadder: They were warned.
While we in the Gulf Coast understand sitting in the dark for weeks and wondering if we will ever see the light again
the majority (hopefully) have generators. BEFORE THE STORM. Especially those WHOSE LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. Right?
if not, I know of a great Christmas gift to give THOSE YOU LOVE.
Watching those up north scream, holler, beg, demand for generators after the storm is a lesson for all of us.
After the storm is NOT the time to get prepared when supplies are limited, patience is wearing thin and lives lost.
Some may not even see power turned on until after Thanksgiving. They are not prepared. The excuse of "Well they aren't
used to this" is a poor one at that. Who is ever used to disaster? You prepare. You hope for the best, plan for the worst.
No matter where you live or what you do. Period.
Some lost their homes and barely got out with their lives.
Everyone took a hit with this storm - sadly from toddlers on up. But it was the elderly and the vulnerable who
took it worse.
Yes, took it worse.

This is why I say over and over and over and over again: Prepare NOW. Because anything could and will happen.
Don't be one of those on the news who said "I just didn't know it would be this bad."
If you, or the one you love who is disabled, looses their life, yeah, I would say, it would be a very bad day.
Please, give yourself the gift of preparedness.
AND...I would like to end on an upnote: I am grateful in this season of gratitude to live in a state that truly is preparedness ready. But, its up to us, to step up too.
Prayers up for those who are suffering. I hope they can find relief soon.
"Because your disabled, you dont' have to be a victim"™
