With thoughts of Haiti

With thoughts of Haiti
Originally uploaded by Green Wellies

Over the last couple of days, I haven't taken anything for granted. Every time I turn on a tap, climb into a warm bed and sit down for a meal, my thoughts have been with the people of Haiti. I wanted to send food, clothing, blankets and bandages. I felt helpless. Last night I went onto the Doctors Without Borders website and donated to their cause. I knew it was one small thing by one person, but if each one person did something, anything, then it would add up to bigger things.

I'd been meaning to do that. Donate, I mean. Thanks for the reminder. I'll do it now.

I'm not even sure how I got to your blog, but I'm really glad I did. You have a sweet spirit that reaches out to people, even way down here in Arkansas. You see the true treasures in life that so many have but overlook. It takes special eyes to see the magic and wonderment of the simple things that are all around us. If we never feel the cold, how could we ever appreciate enough the warmth of a nice blanket and cup of hot chocolate? What a lose that would be! Thanks for letting me see the family, friends, home, gardens and other treasures that you hold so dear. You are a very blessed person and so are they for having you.
ps. I also have a grandson, 3 1/2, and words can't express what he means to me...he even wears "wellies" often, but I've never heard them called that. We just call them rubber boots or galoshes.
