On a serious note...

some winter colour on a cold day

With the earthquake this week In New Zealand and the terrible situation in Libya, I am grateful for Canada.  I have had news that our friends in Christchurch are rattled but well and are looking for ways to help those who need it.

We are keeping a close ear to the news from Libya as Canadians are still struggling to be evacuated.  We are thinking, however, of those who do not have the luxury of having a country to be evacuated to and must live through the chaos that is Libya today.  The troubles in North Africa are having an impact on our gas prices but that seems like such a trivial matter in the larger scheme of things.  Heavy sigh.

We have much to be grateful for.  Back to more cheery topics tomorrow.  Today was a thoughtful day.
