I'm Doing OK

Just to let you know I'm doing ok. I am not in Christchurch and no-one I know there was hurt. We hear updates on Christchurch every day on the news and everyone has been doing different fundraising things - concerts, raffles, collections. Our contributions may be a drop in the bucket but it helps us feel like we are doing something. Japan is also much in our thoughts and conversations.
It's 2 years since I wrote here. 2 years of working hard, healing from deep loss and trying to prioritise where I can be effective. I thought initially my friend's death would make me more tolerant. Somehow it had the opposite effect - I became impatient in some ways, and less tolerant of human foibles (this despite having plenty of my own). It was time to step back from saying and focus on effective living.
I'm not sure who is reading this blog still, but having finally found my sitemeter login again, I've discovered people still come here daily and read the old posts. It never occurred to me 9 years ago that this would happen. I may write some more, as the inspiration hits and time allows. It is heartening to see some old friends still gracing the internets with their thoughts. As we say here - good on ya mate!
