I will never claim to be the voice of reason. I'm too silly and try not to take most things too seriously. Like everyone else, I have tried to make sense of today's events. Anger, fear, sadness, disbelief, grief....these are all things I have felt.
I believe, the truth is, there is NO sense in what happened. This was an act of terror perpetrated by a coward who stole the innocence of far too many young people.
We are all too quick to want to shake the finger of blame at someone or something. In reality we may all be to blame.....myself included.
How many times do we fly through life without taking a moment to realize how many amazing things and beautiful people are around us?
I challenge you to hold a door for a stranger, say "please" and "thank you," wave when someone lets you over in traffic, and practice random acts of kindness. Little things can go MUCH further than you can possibly fathom.
Sadly, there is ugliness and evil in this world, there always has been and there always will be, but let's try to focus on the positive things in life, while we remember fondly those who have tragically left us too soon.
Let's learn to accept one another and celebrate our differences. We will NEVER agree on every issue, and that is OK. We can respectfully agree to disagree while we all work together to make this hectic, blink of an eye, we call "Life" more enjoyable.
Most importantly, to see the beauty in life, look around you. Nature is SCREAMING for you to put the cell phone down and enjoy the fresh air. Take in a Special Olympics event....I have...and my life will never be the same. Feed the homeless. Thank a veteran. JUST BREATHE and be alive!!
