Not As Bad As ....

In coping with the ongoing coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its impact on lives, cities, the US and our general life as we know it, I find myself thinking of "well, it is not as bad as ...." What I mean is that if I am having a delay, frustration, pain or sadness, I think that it is not as bad as what those people are going through or what the genuinely kind rescuers and other personnel are going through. I let little bits of the news, good and bad stories alike, into my thoughts or it would continue to be paralyzing. It is so great to see people open their hearts, homes, wallets and closets to people they don't know. I hope it all ends up as we are wishing and no good soul is punished for their kindliness.
