These are just a handful of news headlines from yesterday, alone. I don't mean to focus on the dreary reality of this hell on earth but it's becoming more difficult to keep a light heart with sooo much heavy shit going on right now, this very second, as you read this. Our own little pockets of life seem so insignificant when there are far too many out there suffering at the hands of others. April 16, 2007 now inhabits a spot in our history book of horror. Yesterday marked the 12 year anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing and today is the date that Columbine high school was forever changed. 3 life shattering events, all in our own country, memorialized within 5 days of each other. I don't like those odds.
A faithful reader of this blog sent me an email after I posted the VA Tech tragedy. She stated that she comes to read my posts about our crazy animals, Bob Villa wanna-be-husband, and other random nonsense as a diversion from all the chaos that is flooding the news everyday. She also has some personal struggles of her own and sometimes just needs a smile. Don't we all. So I'll try and focus on the daily insignificant happenings around here but that doesn't mean that I'm not affected by what's going on outside my bubble.
