Well said, Syd.
Reminds me, and it is cliche, but true: Peace begins within, then spreads to one's neighbors, community, state/region/province, then to the world. I cannot stand what's been happening here lately. The tubular.net community is awesome. Thinking. Creative. Intelligent off the scale. And generally caring and sharing. We are better than the exchange of anger and aggressiveness that has happened here. Peace folks, peace.
My heart goes out to Norway...to friends and relatives there and to everyone who has been torn apart and forever changed by yesterday's violence.
So...a day in the life.....I was working on the other thread that had gotten so mean-spirited (and dunslooser--I owe you an apology--will pm you hopefully soon) when my brother, whom I'd not seen since December, stopped in for a visit. He is somewhat escorting me down the aisle next month (but he doesn't know I have no intention of walking-I will break free and dance). After saying hello and getting situated, I ignored him for a few moments to bin the other topic for now until we have a chance to review and figure out what to do and where to go from here. My bro left a little while ago, so here I am again, but in transit as my day will consist of driving people around then hopefully going to my fiance's gig. But I really need to clean the house, do some painting and scraping, and work out. Also need to collect my youngest daughter from a few towns over and an air conditioner. I usually love heat, but it's gotten to me. Plus, we have a new puppy, named Paris Hilton (a miniature poodle)--my daughter's idea--and she has been very hard to house train and still isn't sleeping through the night. I am tired.
But I am happy for this moment in space-time to be alive. By the way, I have a new physician who recommended I watch a National Geographic video on stress (he's thinking I need to chill). I pass it on for anyone who might be interested, but I must say that watching it stressed me out even worse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7K_1XTvUz0
@Milamber--you are so lucky to be getting sleep! I don't think any of my daughters slept through until they were like...5 yrs. OK...maybe earlier than that, but I do think it was at least a year or two. All of them loved Goodnight, Moon.
Peace,
Inkanta
