The Garden City of New Zealand

When you`re going about your business tomorrow and maybe somewhere in your day you catch yourself thinking that your cup`s only half full, please spare a little thought for those poor souls in Christchurch, some of whom lost their lives. The pictures on the news of the chaos and rubble that ensued without warning and  the narratives from the survivors were heart-wrenching and very moving and kind of put into perspective the humdrum of everyday life.
Heartfelt prayers to everyone in Christchurch (especially my cousin and her family, from whom we`re still awaiting news).
