Not a nice day. Too much to do, and naturally, not nearly enough time. I'd have to clone three of me to get everything done. As it is, I'm working late and for a few hours on the weekends

Things indeed suck -- all over. But you have a generous heart when you say "wait, look at Haiti." I can't tell you the number of people who DON'T want to look at Haiti or anything else because they think their own problems are worse.
Hoping things get a little better. (P.S. It is Mercury retrograde and you wrote on the dark of the moon. Hang in there).
Thanks much for your kind words. I already feel a little better today, and there was the faintest sliver of moon out last night. I was made aware of the Mercury retrograde early last week. In a funny sort of way, it put everything in perspective, via the logic that, "Well, things are pretty much expected to be all snafu right now, but it'll get better when it passes, right?"
It can be difficult for me to not feel overwhelmed when I hear of the devastation that is occurring in other parts of the world. Haiti, Katrina, Darfur, the tsunami in Indonesia a few years ago, to name just a few. Part of me wishes very much that I had the courage or the will or the know-how to go to those places and do something, anything. The best I find I can do, though, is to send funds to those who can and are more able, and try to be strong in my own life--hold together for those people who need me. And who knows? Maybe someday I will be able to do something "first hand."
I'm glad you're feeling better. I don't know how one gets into NGOs like the Red Cross to be there for disasters. You might want to ask them just for the information (although the leaders in the NGOs I know through my son have family connection and lots of money to have gotten them placed there in the first place). But do remember that you are a compassionate person, and then think of the idiots (Limbaugh comes to mind) yelling not to help, and you see how far above them you are.
