I had a post all ready to be automatically published this morning but decided to pull it and instead send you over to Andhari's blog. She is a lovely girl from Indonesia that I met through the blogging world who always comments on my posts (which makes me feel very loved) and she had some thoughts to share about the bombings in her town of Jakarta.
"Writing about this already made me very depressed.
And angry. Angry to know after a couple of years of calmness and stability post Bali and Australian Embassy bombing, this problem is floating to the surface again. Angry for the travel warning that several countries have given to us again. Angry for the city and country that I love stained once again in the world." -Andhari
Her uncle and cousins work at the Ritz Carlton but luckily are safe because they got stuck in traffic and were late to work. Her uncle's assistant wasn't so lucky and is currently unconscious at the Jakarta hospital. Next time you're getting road rage on the freeway because of a jam take a deep breath and know that there might be a very good reason you're stuck on the road.
Thoughts and prayers to those affected by the bombings...

Thank you so much for the positive thoughts and moral supports, and even feature this in your blog today. It means a lot. This is devastating for everyone of us here and I hope the situation gets better.
Very well said. I'll continue to pray for everyone in Jakarta, and war-torn countries around the world.
