So it's Saturday morning and after sitting here going over my Facebook page and msnbc.com I have so much I took for granted this morning. A clean bed, a home that is safe and ground that is stable under my feet. Japan I learned still had more aftershocks this morning of a 7.1 scale. While I was watching the videos of what it was like to feel and be there in that moment of yesterday, I teared up a little and it made what I wanted to go do today seem pointless (shopping). I will probably be sending that small amount to relief efforts. I know a small contribution won't make much of a dent, but at least I will feel better about it.
On a different note, I went to go get ready for the day and heard kids out back. The Condo Association got rid of our pool a while ago and now it is just this landfill of dirt that hasn't changed over to grass for quite a while. We have a small pond now and the geese from the other pond were there and the kids had food (looked like bread) in their hands. This reminded me of when I was little growing up in Dover and mom would take us to feed the ducks at Silver Lake. Once one of them knew you had food, watch out, more were to follow, and they brought more friends
love the "pond"
