After watching the news clips last night of the horror and devastation people are having to endure in Haiti I felt ashamed of my post yesterday. How dare I? These people have lost their families, their friends, their homes, all of their belongings, jobs, food, water and more and I am worried about the state of my body? That is the epitome of self-centeredness. That is the ego at it's finest. Seeing the woman in her 60's being pulled from the rubble after a week of being trapped and hearing her come out singing with joy just to be alive left me wanting to run to my computer and beg for your forgiveness. Shame on me!

Then I got an email from someone this morning who said the post made them laugh when they read it and I changed my mind. Please know that it's not that I care more about the trivial things than I do about these heart wrenching world events. I'm crying the tears and making the donations right along with the rest of the world. It's more about needing a diversion when you're faced with such catastrophic events. A place where we can go to forget, even just for a moment, how fragile life is or how little control we have over our destiny. If talking about my rearend can help us to forget how life can change in the blink of an eye then so be it.

I won't apologize but I will say please let these world events be a reminder to all of us to keep compassion in our hearts, to do our part as best we can and give thanks every day.
