Grateful for where I live
It's amazing how quickly your world can turn on it's axis. I woke up today and felt great, walked into my office this morning humming a little tune and thinking...."Yup, glad it's Friday". Then, (because I apparently live in a bubble), I get a call telling me that Japan got hit with an earthquake (8.9) and then a tsunami. Now.....that kind of news is devastating enough, but when you actually know someone who lives there....well that just brings it all that much closer to home. So I went from humming a little diddy to full blown panic mode.
Thankfully I am back to an even keel at the moment because my nephew, his wife and their 2 month old son are safe and all of their family and friends are as well.
I will continue to pray for those that are affected, including those in Hawaii as well who were also hit with the tsunami.
I may complain about the snow and the cold...but never again....I'll take it over earthquakes, tornados, mud slides, or tsunamis any day.
