It is all too vivid for me to not imagine myself having been there, or what it would be like to be a survivor without my family. I nearly drowned many years ago, and I'm here thanks to CPR. The tsunami videos are extra-creepy for me, and I can't fathom the lives to come for the survivors. It makes me all the more mindful of the blessing and the luck of my life in New England. It will be my first thought for the new year tonight. Peace. Absolutely, amen.

I am especially disoriented b/c of the post-Christmas advertising blitz surrounding all of us in this country, it's just so incomprehensible to think of all of us spending our holiday cash on gadgets while hundreds of thousands of people are suffering so. (I know that hundreds of thousands are suffering all the time, but this particular tragedy is of such huge proportions). I can't even watch the news, just listening to NPR makes me weep. It certainly is humbling. I feel the same way–completely overwhelmed & powerless.

We're fortunate to have come out of 911 with our company intact, so we donated to CARE today. Nothing will make us feel better....but we should still do something. Great post. Sandy It is very staggering. We’re fortunate to have come out of 911 with our company intact, so we donated to CARE today. Nothing will make us feel better….but we should still do something.

I couldn't blog about it. Instead I wrote about insignificant things, knitting. It's all too fresh and painful right now.
