We took more than a year to hunt for a house because we were afraid of floods, tsunamis & landslides. Friends looked at us funny. Now I'm glad that we've chosen a safe place to live despite the lack of views. We have some Wellingtonian friends who live on the hillside and always posting photos of their bayview.TwoWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891114408174969061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228441480278570603.post-10816361814359271372010-09-10T01:12:54.112+12:002010-09-10T01:12:54.112+12:00Wow Rach how your life has changed in one week - w...Wow Rach how your life has changed in one week - what you have leant and discovered.

Whenever something bad happened, she would think about things she could be glad about in the situation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna<br />This is a good list you wrote, Rachel. Keep focusing on the positive things :)Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304537325454972400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228441480278570603.post-25452686483371532212010-09-09T16:59:29.672+12:002010-09-09T16:59:29.672+12:00Great list.

The aftershocks sounds awful... just enough to keep the fear going I suppose.
