I awoke this morning and again the news is filled with the situation in Haiti. Two weeks ago, I pulled the door closed on a storage unit that held nearly all of my worldly goods. I had kept the barest minimum to load into the back of the truck and I turned to face the world - no job, no home, no place to go. Depending on unemployment benefits to pay for gas, insurance, food and truck payment. I look at the world around me. I look at my options and though I feel as if the world has fallen apart around me, I know that it is nothing compared to the loss of those who went through the quake in Haiti. There are times when I feel my situation is completely hopeless, but I look at the scenes on TV and I know that those people who have lost so much more have far more hope than I feel. Out of the dust and debris of every disaster has come hope and heroism and the determination to survive and move on, creating a better world for those who have made it through.
