Do your part

This weather, like life, has been so crazy lately. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes mundane, and sometimes tragic. The recent tornados that have ripped through the midwest have really opened my eyes to the unpredictability of everyday. Seeing the overwhelming destruction of the targeted cities is so upsetting. In a single moment their entire world isn't even thrown upside down--it's gone. I can't even begin to understand it, but recognizing how truely blessed I am to live each day and to take advantage of my existence is something I can do.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families affected by these natural disasters.
