It has been four days since the devasting earthquake in Japan. I am completely aware that I didn’t mention it in my last posts… not because of ignorance rather because I’m at a loss of words. When I turned my regular news channel on Friday morning and saw the breaking news of the devastation and broken hearts, families and homes, I couldn’t believe it and was at a loss for words. It’s impossible to even fathom the horror and sadness of what they as people and as a country are going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of them.

I am so incredibly greatful to have my family close to me … especially today because I got to spend the day with my parents … they came to visit!

no, this is not from today.. it's from Christmas time. I just happen to be wearing the same shirt.. weird.

I guess you should know that I talk to my Mom about twice a day and there are still times when I call and ask her what I should cook for dinner, for my family. Yes, I do realize that’s sad, don’t you worry. Do I care? Heck no.

My sweet Mama and I

We went out for lunch to Swiss Chalet, obviously. They never disappoint.

It was so bright out! Probably shouldn't have uploaded this one... owell, no shame here people.

It was a good day and a beautiful and sunny one at that!  What are you greatful for today?
