I have started and discarded several blog posts this week but have been unable to complete one; my thoughts are still too scattered after last Saturday’s shocks. So I will merely say that I hope all of you tell your family and friends how much they mean to you now. And let us also remember the families of those killed and injured, as well as the family of the shooter. I can’t imagine the pain and shock all of those families are feeling right now. And let us also think about what we say before we say it; words can hurt and anger others when they are thoughtlessly thrown out. In other words, be sure your brain is engaged before you put your mouth in gear.
Peace.
It still amazes me when something like this happens. Your words are kind and meaningful. We are all in some sort of grieving stat over this tragedy. Our hearts go out to those who have suffered a loss, and to those still fighting.
remember to love and find joy in everything around you. remember to hug.
Thank you, Ann, for adding that. And to Anonymous – I know who you are now – thank you.
Living in AZ, this tragedy has hurt in more than one way. Again, my state is being called the Wild, Wild West. It's so hurtful.Thank you for your kind words.
Yes, it has. It seems the only way we make national news any more is if it's something bad! But the fact that we all came together as a community to remember those who died and to support the survivors says a lot about us.
