I was going to write another moment this morning, but with the news of the 8.9 earthquake off the coast of Japan, all moments seem to fade to the background.
The randomness of this makes us all aware of how alike we are. Can you relate to a tsunami if you live in Nebraska? Probably not, but you can understand the random and indiscriminate devastation of a tornado. Have you experienced a hurricane if you live in the middle of Canada? No, but you know how a blizzard can be dangerous.
My moment is letting the small stuff fall away today and remembering what I am so lucky to have… a place to call home. Sending good thoughts and hope to all the people and animals that will be affected by this earthquake and its ripple effects.

OM is *one moment* and is a meetup designed to notice & relish a moment in everyday life. The meetup idea was created by Linda at her blog, a la mode stuff.
If you’d like to participate in OM, just click the button and you’ll be taken to Linda’s post explaining it all.
So perfectly said.
Thank you.
Joining with you in thought and with hope for those touched by the earthquake and the aftermath.
Beautifully said. It puts everything in perspective. My heart goes out to all those affected by the earthquake.
Wow. We are on the same page today! My family had the same conversation this morning. We have never endured a hurricane, a tornado or an earthquake of such magnitude, so how can we grasp their devastating effects? We can’t. We can only have compassion for those effected.
