Thankful

As many of you have heard or seen on the news.....there is total devastation here at the place I call home, the Jersey Shore.  My immediate family and I are so lucky...we are all safe and our homes are still standing. My heart has been breaking for all those who haven't been so blessed and have lost their homes, businesses and some even their lives in the wake of Sandy. I know I join many in feeling absolutely helpless...planning to spend the day trying to find out where I can donate clothing, food, diapers, toys etc to the surrounding shelters...I still don't have power, but my parents do and we are fortunate enough to stay with them until power is restored. There is so much destruction and chaos, it is hard to know when anything will be back to normal...at some point we will continue our lives....but it isn't today...an outfit post just doesn't feel right so I am sharing the only thing that has the power to make me smile this past week....my sons. Hope you will join me in treasuring the ONLY thing that truly matters....family.
