Sleepy,
That was sad hearing about the news yesterday. I tend to not watch it much as I find most news depressing. But when you hear of something like this, it makes the mind wonder, what leads someone to this? We all have negative thoughts from time to time where it comes to others. Its human nature. But lashing out like this, taking someone else's life, thats a whole different matter.
Hate has got to stop among our nation,not trying to exclude other parts of the world, but it has to end. We were once a proud people. When 911 happened, we came together, not white, black, brown, yellow red or any other color, we were one. What in the world has happened since that time? We can spread love, and we can be a friend to others, each one of us, and all we can do is that, and hope and pray it spreads throughout the land.
My day starts in the Word of God, clears my head, makes my perspective a lot better each day. I go to FB but not for long as thats getting more like a news channel, and less about the people I like and care about, then I migrate here. Why? Because you folks feel my needs to make my day a little brighter, whether its a laugh, a good feeling about "home", sharing of a trip, or any of the other topics we discuss here.
Patrick, you have said be sure to tell your loved ones everyday how you feel about them, and though I dont do that with you folks often, I do so today...though many of you I have never personally met, I feel like I know you still, many of you I have met once, and many of you several times(probably more than you asked for)
, I say it today, you are my extended family, not just friends or cyber folks, but family. So I say it...I love you all and care about each one of you.
