What a (New) Year
It seems like just a short time ago the biggest worry was something called the Y2k bug. The fear was: everything is going to fail because computers would not properly handle the year change from 1999 to 2000. The fear didn't make sense. Electricity, water and traffic lights never check the date to see if they should shut down or not. That fear did not seem reasonable. Besides, we have learned about new fears over the past 4 years.Yet, terrorists have been blowing up buildings since explosives were available. Florida has been hit by four hurricanes in the same season before. Even the devastating tsunami was not the first recorded event for the area.
What is new is the magnitude of destruction. The number of lives effected.
All the more reason for each of us to live each precious moment as well as we can. That includes helping others effected by the destruction.
2005 brings all the promise of a new and wonderful year. That promise can be brought about by our outlook on life. No fear needed.

A great disaster gives us a chance to count our blessings. We are all a moment away from some unknown horror and each moment that we spend in relative safety and peace has to be cherished.
Have a happy and blessed 2005!
It's been ten days since you've added to your blog and I miss reading what you have to say. I find your 'take' on things interesting and I hope you'll be able to post again in the near future.
