The simple things

I am posting the simple things in my life that I am feeling grateful for today, Christina at http://soulaperture.blogspot.com/ gave me the idea and her family will be donating $1 to http://doctorswithoutborders.org for every blog that participates up to $250.
It breaks my heart to see such devastation in Haiti.. so many children without the
basic elements of survival. Food, shelter and a warm blanket to hang onto.
It makes me think about all the small little everyday

things in my life that I take for granted.
