12.12.12

Watching the concert and thinking about Sandy and the fact how lucky we were to not have damage.. I just chatted with a co-worker today who lives in Long Beach and was able to return home only last week. She can only use the second floor of her house as the first floor was so badly damaged in the flood. She is dealing with contractors and insurance claims, which won't cover most of the damage even though she had a flood insurance. Her neighborhood is still dark, and she has to walk around with a flash light. A few miles away it's like nothing ever happened. But it did happen, and there are so many people dealing with the aftermath, and re-building homes and dealing with trauma and stress. My heart goes out to them and I am going to do something, however little, to help.

And by the Jon Bon Jovi is awesome! Living on a Prayer is the perfect song for the 12.12.12 concert.
