ANY GOOD NEWS OR POSITIVE MESSAGES ON THE DU
Today? I'm just so devistated by the Tsunami. I lived in Kho Phi Phi and have many friends missing or dead. I was just curious if there is anything uplifting to begin my New Year.

2. My heart goes out to you, I can't even begin to imagine how you feel
but we are thinking of you. Please take care of yourself.

As far as uplifting news, mmm, I haven't been on too much today, just working my way backwards through the latest. I am touched however by the way the goodness of people and focus on helping in the tragedy is strong.

3. May there be blessings on you.
I too experienced a loss this month, a devastating loss to me individually. The only thing that comforts me is that it is a new year, a new beginning and I guess hope. Maybe spring would be a better time for hope. It is coming. I hope you find many of the missing and that you will eventually know peace.

5. I am so, so sorry.
That is heartbreaking to hear.

It doesn't even feel like new years, I sat right through it without even noticing.

I'm sad, but still trying to think up something positive for you.

8. I hate to say this.
It's the only thing I can think of, and it sickens me, but Bush will just have to get out of Iraq by himself.

I don't see people putting up with this for 4 more years. Now it is not on Kerry's back. They are going to be sorry they ever stole this election.

9. Amid all of the death and destruction,
are the miraculous stories of life and survival.

New Years is not just for celebrating, but for reflecting and renewal. There is much to reflect on this year. God bless all the victims and survivors of this terrible tragedy.
