Gratitude

Just going to take a moment and say I am grateful for:

Life, Family and Friends.

With all of the heartache and terrible times the people of the world are going through, I am thankful for the fact that I AM ALIVE!

This past weekend, (March 11, 2011) there was a terrible earthquake in Japan, causing LOTS of problems there. I actually know people there, so for the first time in my weird and shallow life I didn't just say so sad for them, and go about my own business. I was worried that maybe my friends weren't ok. Word came about seven hours later that they were shaken, but alright, and their family members were ok after the quake and the tsunami that came later.

The news channels here in the US had tsunami warnings and watches being broadcast all day long. After I watched the devastation from what cameras could be found, I heard that I knew more people in danger from the waves. The good news is that so far (crossed fingers) as of Tuesday Mar 15, no one that I know has been injured. Property damage can be repaired. I say a prayer of thanks that this is the case.

I will sign off for now, but I have so SO much to catch the blog up on.
