If April Showers bring May Flowers
then what do May Flowers bring? The
children’s riddle says – pilgrims! But in terms of preparedness – those “May Flowers”,
the result of careful planning and preparing – bring peace of mind and no
worries. Truly – if we are prepared – we shall not fear! Each month we can take
stock of where we stand in our preparedness. Are we moving forward? Have we
stalled? Do we need to jump start our efforts? Take an honest assessment of
where you are and where you need to be in terms of preparedness. Then take the
steps necessary to bring you and your family the peace of preparedness. And
remember that being prepared is a journey and ongoing. There is really no
destination we arrive at that says “you are here!” Preparedness, and the peace
that it brings, is really a way of life.
