Aloha Ohana (family) we are okay; actually just outside of the tidal wave zone and at a higher elevation than the people who got sea damage. My wife just let me know that one person on the other side (west) of the island lost a house to the ocean.
Connected family in Japan is okay...in a different provience from the damage. Rest of the family here is outside of the zone also. Wife doesn't work today and probably wouldn't either because of the economic down turn wave but the hotel she works at probably got damage. "Lord grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change..."
Soooooo we're blessed and grateful. Just got off the phone with an MIP member who cared and called and the conversation brought the tire pressure of my program up to snuff. YAY!!
Got sleep last night so am feeling rested. Sun is out and things are drying out. Breakfast is a great burrito and a cupajoe and what else?.....Oh the earthquake we went thru last evening watching the devastation in Japan was only a 4.3. Might have to crawl under the house to check the piers and footing and then everything seems solid.
So we're blessed and one indication of that for me is having MIP as family.
Mahalo Nui Loa...Aloha ke Akua...Thanks very much and God is love ((((hugs))))
Thanks for the update - so grateful that you & your family are ok!!
still praying for all those affected & will be for the next few months or so ~ after experiencing a natural disaster (Hurricane Rita) ~ the months that follow can be just as challenging -

The strangest thing just now. As I sit here reading your update with tears falling from my eyes, I realize just how important my Al-anon family is to me.....even those I have never met f2f.
I am so grateful that you, your family and extended are alright. I am so blessed by your presence in my life and recovery. Thank you.
So happy to know you and your loved ones are well. Thanks for the gift of letting us all know. You've been in our thoughts.
Let's all pray for those who have been victims of this natural disaster. May those who have lost loved ones and lives have been alter allow God to heal them.
