A heart-breaking picture

I know this is a big turnaround from the last post, but I just wanted to show you this picture.

It was on the front page of the New York Times today, and it's an elementary school graduation in Japan.  The auditorium had to be cleared of evacuees before they could have the ceremony.  What makes it awful is that the little boy is probably crying because members of his family died two weeks ago in the tsunami.  It pretty much tore my heart in half.  I am grateful to be living on high ground, both at home and at school, physically and spiritually.  My prayers are with the ones suffering from the effects of the tsunami.  

Family

You know what's awesome?  You're awesome.  This paper I'm writing?  Not so much.  Wish me luck!

Heidi's guest post

Hello. I am Heidi. That is my  name. I am cooking with Eliza and also Megan, whose blog this is not. They are great chefettes and I am not, and therefore am intimidated. But not really because they are nice. And I also like to eat the things they create. But this time, I contributed, with cookies from a bag. Good bye now.

Hello. I am Heidi. That is my name. I am a generally boring person, who does homework and makes plans to do awesome things that never actually happen. Also worth noting: I like the sound of typing on a Mac. Good bye now.

Hello. I am Heather. That is not my name. Eliza is forcing me to doo thislasdlkfjap-io1j! ... That was my face hitting the keyboard, which was propelled by Eliza's hand. Not really because she is not abusive... ahem.

Hello. I am Heidi. That is my name. This is not my blog. This is my guest blog post thing. I have never commented on a blog before, and here I am writing my own post. I couldn't feel more fulfilled. Megan is laughing and making me feel self-conscious. Also, she is eating grapes, like a queen of the olden days. This is really difficult. I cannot come up with intelligent things to say.

I will now give this blog back to Eliza, because this blogging stuff is surprising difficult. Amen.
