So many of you know I was able to visit home in the US recently, which was absolutely amazing! On my flight home I had a layover in Tokyo just as I had on my way to the US. On my way home the flight ion and out of Tokyo was great to watch from the plane, it was a massive and vibrant city, this was one week before the earthquake. On my next flight in two days after the earthquake and tsunami it was a completely different story, Tokyo was dead. Not to mention the airport that I was flying into had been closed just one day before I left. There was very little traffic in the city and the airport was in a near panicked state. Many of the airport shops were closed and a lot of domestic and a few international flights had been canceled. Everyone was glued to the tv. Did I mention that aftershocks were still being felt? I remember the whole place shaking for 20-30 seconds, something really unnerving.
After a great visit home to see so many people I care about and then being so close (even if for a short time) to one of the world's biggest natural disasters it is hard not to be grateful for everything good in life.

I am glad I got to see all of the folks that really matter. I'm so blessed!
