keeping positive

(Ranunculus, daisy & rose) Still no word from my friend in Sendai. I tried calling but couldn't get through, I think the phone lines are still down.

In Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures, they are having planned blackouts in order to cut down electricity usage.

In Osaka, we are asked to conserve electricity as much as possible too.

Since television is limited to updates, we went to bed at 21:00 last night.

From what I understand, today several of the nuclear tanks exploded causing some radiation to leak, hopefully they can stop this from becoming yet another disaster.

Even though things don't look too good, we're trying to keep positive, hope you are too.

UPDATE: I just got word that my friend and her family in Sendai are fine. Thank you! for all your prayers and good thoughts. Please continue to pray for those who haven't found their loved ones/friends yet.

    Way to go Kat. Hang in there. Feeling helpless so far away, but let me know if I can do anything for you.

    Glad to hear that your friends are okay Kat. Listening to the news updates all day....so overwhelming...but I can only imagine how much more difficult it is for everyone in Japan. Keep well.

    Thank you Ellie, good to hear from you and I hope Australia is starting to recover from their floods.

    Thank you Otavio!

    I am too Mokiko :)

    Thank you Manju :)

    Which is why I don't sit in front of the television as much as I used to Rowena, just too stressful.

    Thank you and take care everyone!
