Although ...Oh my goodness Julie, I just got chills. Although I still kick myself for the delay, once I woke up a couple of things happen. Of course my heard breaks for the people of Haiti and their grief, shock, fear and all that comes with a quake. And then like you Aidan or you Julie we remind ourselves that our little struggles are little and our gifts great.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713676282787688389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-70523297792177249962010-01-18T16:51:56.770-08:002010-01-18T16:51:56.770-08:00thanks for a great blog Lauren. we took up a dona...thanks for a great blog Lauren. we took up a donation at work and the funds are being matched 100% by our company. this hit home for us. one of jenna's classmates grandmother lives in port au-prince and they were very lucky to be out of the city when the earthquake happened. it took 5 days, and many communication channels to be able to find out that she was alive. life is very short. great lesson in this --- proper goodbyes. we do it in our house everyday... one never knows what will happen during the course of the day.julie rosenblumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-24252854152076386112010-01-15T10:14:53.871-08:002010-01-15T10:14:53.871-08:00Lauren, I am so glad you have jumped in.

I go about my days, tending to my needs and those of my family, and tune out the devastating things in the world. I sat there this morning, sick myself and flanked by my sick husband and sick daughter (talk about weight loss plan! I kid!) and read Kelly's post and literally said to myself: "I am lucky to be immersed in this misfortune." I am glad that we are all being shaken from those cobwebs of complacency to do a little good.<br /><br />Great post.Aidan Donnelley Rowley @ Ivy League Insecuritieshttp://ivyleagueinsecurities.comnoreply@blogger.com
