giving thanks

     It is now one week ,since the huge storm hit the eastern United States ,Hurricane Sandy. The effects were felt as far west as Ohio. Here, in Cleveland we had heavy,persistent, rain and high winds. This brought down a large number of trees which brought down power lines. Large parts of the city and surrounding suburbs were without power.I lost my power for a day and a half and  I consider myself fortunate because I know some people who are still without a week later. It makes me appreciate my blessings of home,health,and family.
