I've been looking at this image for a while wondering weather to upload it or not.. However, blending it with the Haiti disaster made a lot of sense because a picture paints a thousand words and what I had to say went with the photo..
I think too many of us take our lives for granted - going about our daily habits, regardless of others less fortunate. Even walking down the road for others is either impossible or fearful. There's a well know saying that goes - there is always someone worse off than you.. this is true to a point - but someone is always on the bottom of that list.. think for a minute about that..

brings it home doesn't it? I find that bringing myself back down to earth is a good thing and I try to do this often. Events like the Haiti Earthquake hits everyone in such a shocking way that we all feel this. However, if we all remembered this at least once a day throughout our lives, I'm sure that the world would be a happier and peaceful place. x

  1. Very true words. What upsets me (having visited Haiti a good few years ago) is that it has always been one of the poorest countries in the world. The people have endured the hardest of times under Papa Doc who dictated and stole anything they did have and yet it takes an horrific event like this for people to reach out and help them.

  2. That's such a beautiful picture - and what a lovely message, Ray! Yes, we should be thankful for what we have, we should help others if/when we can .... we should never feel guilty for being happy, though. You're a very thoughtful, sympathetic, generous person, friend! *hug*
