day 572
This morning, I had my day all planned. Early shower, walk the dogs in the sunshine, dust and vacuum the house. A little time for office work and then some inspired baking before my documentary party this evening. That is until I looked at the Internet and saw Chili had a 8.8 point earthquake. Sending out a Tsunami warning to Hawaii. My sister is down in the Cook Islands- Kiribati Islands. She is on little islands, on a little boat in the middle of now where with a Tsunami headed her way.
My heart dropped, my little special sister whom I love so much is in danger. Tears filled my eyes and dropped. I feel so far away and helpless. I called people I know to send out prayers and blessings to Tara. A friend of mine reminded me to stay calm. Panicking and stressing will not help.
A couple of hours later I got a response from her boat. Tara is currently out to sea. I guess this is the safest place to be. I don't know if the Tsunami has passed her. I do know she has been sick to her stomach and today is feeling better and ate some breakfast.
I guess on any given day an earthquake could hit. My sister is out traveling the world she is usually out traveling. This reminds me to make the most of my days and my relationships. Life is a living thing.

I'm not always grand
Day 556
My, but the days sure tick by. I just posted two blogs to my business and my residue free blogs. Before shutting off my computer and going to bed, I thought I would take a peek at my 1000 day blog. This is my first posting in 2010. I don't really have much to say except I just wanted to write something here this year.
What have I learned so far? Many things and nothing. I've learned to pause more often, that accomplishing something feels better than doing nothing and I've learned being mindful all day is a tall order. I've not learned to yodel, to use my scanner or what the name of a little bird that visits my yard.
As of today, Feb 10, 2010, I think I would like to be able to do 4 pull ups. My sister has worked her way up to 4, it would be a good sister connection. I would like to create a effectively awesome lasagna garden this summer, and I think I would like to write more often to this blog.
Were you expecting something more adventurous or grand? Me too, but I'm not always grand, sometimes I just am what I am.
Happy traveling,
Denise
