Caution

This is pretty self explanatory. It has been a tragic week with everything that has happened, and is still happening in Haiti. First and foremost my thoughts and prayers goes out to all the victims and families. I would like to say that I am completely overcome with emotion on how the world pulls together when tragedy hits. What I would like to caution you on though is just how fragile our reality is. This is a big illusion of safety. It took mere minutes to turn an entire country to rubble, and to kill in the upwards of 100,000 people. So you should stop to think what would I do if something like that hit? Am I properly prepared? How do I get prepared? Where would I go? Do I have resources to live on? These and other questions fly through my mind when something like this happens. I would like to caution any who would read this post. Just because we have the illusion of safety does not mean we are safe. It only takes a couple of minuets to turn your life upside down. Not that you can properly prepare for these moments that life brings, but I would urge each one of you to just take a second to think about trying to plan. Tsunami, Katrina,and now Haiti anything can happen at any time.
