Aware.

I'm torn when I sit down to write a post about my life and my Yahoo homepage brings up images of a destroyed Japan and Libya spinning out of control. This blog has always served the purpose of documenting my own corner of the world, which I do, but that doesn't mean I am unaware of the other corners, too.

My heart is heavy for those who have lost loved ones through this monstrous natural disaster and those who are suffering under the insanity of a corrupt government. Those are circumstances I do not understand and have never known. Although I believe that there will someday be a time when my corner of the world knows them, too.

The documentation of my life will continue on, but know that these posts are not ignorant ones.

If you want to help the relief efforts in Japan, here is a link to donate through Samaritan's Purse. I have friends who have worked for this organization and it's legit.

Have a lovely day, friends.

And if it is truly a lovely one, be all the more thankful.
