The tragedy in Japan

I've been watching the news a lot and listening to it on the radio when I'm driving. I have satellite radio in the car, so I hear versions of the tragedy in Japan from various perspectives (BBC--British, CBC--Canadian, several stations--American).

It doesn't really matter who's broadcasting the details. Something really, really horrible happened in Japan.

Every time I go to blog about it, though, I can't seem to capture the horror of it in a post.

Not mentioning the tragedy doesn't seem right. I'm starting to feel a little like Emily Dickinson (minus the incredible poetry talent) who lived through the Civil War, but didn't address it in her poems.

The Happy Nappy Bookseller alerted me to this government website, which gives out legit addresses of where to send aid.

Now, go do something special today, either for yourself or a friend or a significant other or a child. Because we truly don't know what's around the corner.

Enjoy your day!
