The last few days have been a good reminder to be happy with what you have and what is going on in your life. I am of course referring to the fires that are ravaging a couple parts of the province. It's all that is on the radio! 80,000 people being forced to evacuate their homes in Ft. McMurray alone! Finding refuge anywhere they can, many of them coming down here for help.
I was mentioning how my year has had a slightly bumpy start, that is NOTHING compared to what these people are going through. I look around and I am just astounded by how lucky I am. By how lucky we all are.
Now there is another point to this I would like to make. We all know about what is happening because we have been made aware of what is going on, through several different avenues of media. Be it radio, television or social media. It's right there in front of us! We need to find a way to use these resources to help us in making people aware of the charities we support and feel connected to them, or even just one.
I know I'm doing a lot of talking with little to show for it at this point, I'm just looking at what is happening in the news right now and seeing it as an example what we have to try to do, these are my thoughts anyway..
Take care everyone.
