Are we really here again?

Man, it feels like nowhere near enough time has passed since I was last here saying how shocked and saddened I was by one tragedy - now here we are again!  And this time it's even worse, if that's possible!  At times like this I think we cease to be 'Japanese', New Zealander, Australian, etc - we just become 'citizens of planet earth', and if nothing else, it is truly heartwarming to see how swiftly people from around the globe mobilize to come to the aid of those in need!  My best wishes go out to those in Japan, and around the world, who will be touched by this new disaster.

Tragic.....

I lived in Christchurch for 4 years and they were very happy years providing cherished memories!  It is a beautiful, friendly, unique and wonderful city, and to witness these scenes of devastation and catastrophe is painful indeed!!  It is not only buildings that have crumbled in this shocking event - hopes, dreams, and lives have also been shattered, and my very best wishes and greatest sympathy go out to all those touched by this tragedy.

Better late than never....

Because I was....um.....busy on the day - happy valentines to all!  Hope you had a lovely day, wherever you where, and whoever whatever you did! ;-)

And for those of us who are single, this heart is all yours!  Embrace the freedom you have!  Love yourself.....and never compromise!
