Tears for Thailand


I felt terrible yesterday when I turned on CNN and was bombarded with news of the Tsunami. The Tsunami that happened on Sunday that I had no knowledge of until Tuesday!! I can’t believe something so horrific can happen and it escape my attention for a full 48 hours. Nearly 100,000 people have lost their lives. It is too big to even imagine. I feel such a deep sadness. It feels strange to just “go on with your day” when so many of the worlds population are in such anguish. I feel guilty even going on with my posting about what a wonderful Christmas we had…seems so insignificant in light of all this grief doesn’t it? Reminds us to be so thankful and to not take anything for granted. I spent a beautiful Christmas with my family. We were safe and warm and fed. My kitchen is still overflowing with christmas trash (wrapping paper and boxes), all of which we didn’t need, and I think about those who wonder how they will get food today. I would talk more about our Christmas, but quite honestly, it feels trite to me at the moment and my heart isn’t in it. I am just going to post on the boys tonight and post some pictures instead.
