I know that this blog is meant to be upbeat, it really is. But I would think it disrespectful not to share this information with the rest of the world. A few days ago, Alabama was hit by a series of tornadoes, one being an F5. The results were catastrophic, leaving over 200 Alabamians dead, and tons more out of house and home. I, was very close to the tornado myself, and though I'm glad it did no damage to my house, there is a mixed sadness for those who weren't so fortunate. The death rate is still climbing.
While working at the grocery store the other day, I noticed tons of people buying water and canned goods, all for the benefit of these poor victims. It does me great pride to live in such a giving community. Perhaps we should be like this everyday, and not just wait for disaster to strike, to become generous. However, and I don't say this often but, I am proud of Alabama and it's citizens.
Peace.

It is always so touching and inspiring when people give to those less fortunate or those going through such a difficult time.
So glad to hear of some positive coming out of the destruction.
