Alive and kicking

The recent calamity in the Philippines has brought sadness to my heart. We were quite fortunate that we're not at all physically affected by the typhoon. But watching the struggles of many many people to rebuild their lives after the storm is truly heart wrenching. Many lives were lost. A lot of Filipinos displaced. We do what we can to help.

It's hard to think about little personal worries when you know there's something so much bigger happening at the moment. Boyfriend Problems? Family crisis? Jerks at work? Fat rolls and lipozene? Strapped for cash? Hard to complain when you know that what you complain about is nothing compared to what others are experiencing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should all be thankful we are alive.
