Today is a good day to step away from the news. To shut off the computer. To go outside and make a happy memory with your family. Laugh together. Do something kind for someone you don’t know. Share a smile with a stranger.
Our world needs more compassion and love. Be the one who adds some to it.
John and I grieve for those involved in the Connecticut shooting tragedy.
the usual bliss 
I wasn’t sure what to say, if anything. Thank you for saying just the right thing for all of us.
Truth.
Such a simple thing, yet so needed. Let the memories of today be filled with love.
Be with your family – spend time, share, make memories.
On the evening of this tragedy, I was walking through the store with my 6yr old. He grabbed hold of my hand and when I felt his warm little hand in mine, it made me tear-up. All those poor families who will no longer feel the warmth of their little one’s hand. So heartbroken for those families.
Completely heartbroken. I kept thinking about when I worked at a preschool with ages 3-6 and that some of those children were that little. Unfathomable.
