99.9% sure

pretty average week here at home. nothing really out of the ordinary, especially in light of what is going on in haiti. for me, pictures say it all. i was thinking at some point this week that i am 99.9% certain that my house will not suddenly crumble around me. a fact that i am so certain of, that i pretty much never think about it. a fact that now seems like a gift. and i wonder how many other small miracles in my life i am missing every day. i have no answers to these questions, and definitely no answers to the million questions about haiti. if you have a moment, look at this post from my friend melissa, it is something to do. something easy at that. there are also so many different ways to donate both locally and nationally, but you probably already know that.

edit: local people, my friend maureen emailed me this information about a benefit for haitian relief at the record bar this week. here are the details:
