Lent Day 3: A day for counting blessings

As tears and anguish take place half a world away and Japan wakes up to the devistation wrought by the earthquake and tsunami, I feel it's time to count my blessings.  I know I often use this as a platform for griping, but I would just like to say how fortunate I feel to be surrounded by loving friends and family who are healthy and safe.  As I crawl into my nice warm bed this evening, I sent out thoughts and prayers to all those who are not so fortunate.  I wish for them peace amidst the storm and the loving arms of God wrapped around them.
