THE FIRST QUARTER SLIPS BY WITHOUT WARNING!

It seems impossible! Yet the first Quarter of 2015 slipped by us.

Weather and her companions plagued all of us as the year changed. 
Snow, sleet and ice troubled many.


Floods, mud slides and sink holes claimed lives, land and property.
All this as fields went dry from lack of rain.


People were restless, some from confinement, others from insecurity
of not knowing what comes next and for how long.


Even so, somehow we found time to celebrate a snowman,
a wedding, a bar mitzvah, a christening
and to grieve universally for injustice.


Some overcame worry with humor,
even as patience wore thin for others.


We helped each other, improvising when necessary
bemoaning when greed overtook others.


And then suddenly April was here.
We had come through the first quarter of 2015.


How can it be?
