Thank you, Dog.

It is not so much overwhelming, altho it probably should be. What it is is just gut wrenching. So many people in need of help, and too proud to seek it. So much property lost. Lives on hold and Livelihoods lost. Farmland underwater, crops lost, soil washed down the river.

The sun will shine again.

Our ancestors did not cross mountains on foot, walking beside wagons because they were wimps. They did not cut trees with an ax to build their own shelter because they were wimps. And they would roll in their graves if we let this take us down.

We’ll suck it up, and clean it up, without waiting for someone to come do it for us. We will help each other, and we’ll do it ourselves.

We just have to get over the initial shock of it all and move onto the next phase.
