Today I was on Facebook and seen a post that almost brought tears to my eyes. After Hurricane Irene some of our beaches and other towns have been devastated. Stuff like this really tugs on my heart strings because there is nothing you can do to stop mother nature. Some have lost so much and I know how hard it is to earn your living and to have a home ruined or severely damaged is heart breaking. Not to mention that many people have no power and in some places roads were washed away and are impassable, their connection to the outside world lost. So many different scenarios all very sad.

So back to the Facebook thing... I noticed that a local bed and breakfast had offered to take in locals for FREE!!! The actual post from Facebook said..

"Any Hatteras local who has taken damage and needs a safe place to stay for a few days, call or stop by the Inn on Pamlico Sound in Buxton. We have steady electricity from our generator. You can bring food and drink to share with everyone else holded up here. We also have showers, phone, and internet for any local who needs it. There is no charge."

AMAZING!!! In today's world you very seldom see such an act of kindness. This made my day and made me smile. Just thinking about how these people who probably haven't had a shower or been able to jump on the internet have a place they can go for some normal daily comfort. The things we are sitting at home taking for granted right now!

Not that my blog gets a ton of views, but I do want to send a shout out to this gracious business. If you are looking for a nice place to vacation in the future maybe you can try this place out... It is obviously that this place cares for the people in their community and their welfare :)

May everyone struggling during this time find some act of kindness from a stranger. Bless you all and know better days are ahead!
