Quiet Ponderings on a week gone past.

This week hasn't been the greatest of weeks. Oh, it started promising, but came down to a serious fizzle. I guess the first thing was the earthquake that hit Haiti with promises of tsunamis coming that way as well as to the Bahamas. Not a great sign at all. Haiti got hit with 7.0 earthquake with aftershocks ranging in the 5.0 scale that devastated an already depressed economy. Then just as we are trying to find out that the people in Haiti are ok, and where to start sending donations, The R&B lost one of it's finest when Teddy Pendergrass died Wednesday, after struggling with colon cancer on top of his being paralyzed in 1982,slowing his career down some. We didn't want to believe it, but if there is one thing I learned from this as well as Michael Jackson's death, word of mouth and on the street goes faster than the internet, and most of the time beat the news media. On top of that, the income I got fizzled due to my client going into the hospital for pneumonia. But the good thing out of this was that I got to go to church. Yet one thing this year is teaching me is you just cannot take nothing for granted in this world. Nothing.
2010 started out good, but already, we have seen devastation and a couple of notable people such as Ebony Fashion Fair founder Eunice Johnson, music producer Willie Mitchell(who produced for Al Green) and then Teddy Pendergrass. I am hoping if this is the shape of things to come, hold on, don't get off and keep your hat on.
