A lot to be thankful for...

At lunch today I went for a walk with a woman from Sri Lanka. We talked about lots of things, including the Tsunami. None of her family have lost their lives but lots of people she knows have. The pictures on the news are shocking. It is hard to imagine that so much damage could be done so quickly. She was telling me that tourism is a big business in Sri Lanka and she was worried that people will not go there any more...at a time when money is desperately needed, money from tourism may be lost.

Thinking about the devastation in South Asia reminds me that I have so much to be grateful for. I sometimes like to moan (as those of youwho know me will know well!), but something like this really makes you put things in perspective.
