trying times

These past two weeks for the United States of America have been very trying. We have seen massive damage due to Hurricane Katrina. People being displaced from their homes and livelyhoods. People have lost their lives and loved ones. On the heals of Katrina comes Ophilia possibly hitting the east coast of the United States. Then comes the fourth anniversary of September 11, 2001. Marked with moments of silence, across this country, many news shows for all to watch to remember and relive their thoughts and feelings of that day. Today, we have a power outage in California. California citizens being interviewed by reporters talking about how bad the outage is not having air conditioning. I would like to remind those in California that no power or air conditioning for a few hours is not something to be complained about. Just remember the people in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Many of whom have no electricity and have been without for two weeks now, many of whom no longer have no homes or jobs to return to. They have been sent indiscrimately to some state in this country and start their lives over again.
Remember the victims of these tradigies before you complain about some small inconveniences in your lives. Be happy that you have conveniences when you have them. Don't complain about the small stuff. You still have your home, your neighbors and your family alive and intact.
