We Are Thinking of You, Japan

Have you ever made something good in the hopes that it might make a difference in some one else's life?

I was thinking of this as I drove home in my Toyota, a car that has served me well for the last decade.  I thought of the workers and the engineers who put extra effort into something so things might be a bit easier for me.

And now, in Japan's hour of need, I just wanted to say thanks to all of those people in that very great nation.  I know you will pull through and put everything back together, because that is what you have always done.

I hope that if you feel alone in your struggle that we are thinking of you and hopefully the help we send will make your recovery a little bit easier.
