Unbelievable devastation

The devastation in New Orleans and other areas along the Gulf Coast is just catastrophic. I am absolutely stunned and horrified by all the terrible news.

As with any tragedy, many people want to help. I have already donated to Petco's animal relief fund, and passed that link along to some people. I found a great resource which lists many charity and relief organizations that are accepting donations to help with this enormous and overwhelming relief and recovery effort:

Network for Good

My plan for dealing with this disaster is to 1) be very grateful I don't live in the South, 2) Donate what I can and 3) be extremely grateful and appreciative every day that I have shelter, food, water, and the comforts of everyday life that I don't ever want to take for granted.
