Every once in a while...

...I get like the rest of you get, upset.
Life is hard in this world with or without seeing and hearing news stories that harm others in it way too often.
You would have to be as cold as a rock not to feel something.

Over the years I have actually met people who refuse to watch, read or listen to the news and that has always bewildered me.
How can those people hold an intelligent conversation?
Oh now that sounds a bit judgmental.
But seriously, we are a world that needs for us to know what is going on in it, truly.
Not watching listening or reading the most current of events to me seems disingenuous with myself.

Many rationalize their reasoning for not watching due to their own ability to handle what is emanating through the airwaves, also not knowing what to believe when so much is opinionated and sent out before all facts are proven to be true.That does have quite a bit of validity.
But as adults we should be able to disseminate and be strong enough to handle the truth of what sadly goes on in this very intense world we all live in.  

Taking breaks from the bombardment over and over again of extreme scenarios that happen way too often on the TV or computer is sometimes all one can do to take that cleansing breath of necessity to step back and perhaps ask what could you do to help change things in this world.
I know not all of us are individual legislatures, but we have access to them and can write to them, petition them or go to local meetings to accomplish change, and tell them what we think about ideas on what might work to stop these horrific mass murders, everyone has thoughts on better background checks and prevention of ridiculous types of weaponry, automatic, war quality. Again the guns were purchased legally!
Time after time, these folks had no criminal backgrounds, scary! Then what?
I wish I knew.
The husband did have an association with the middle east but that alone cannot always be telling. He was a born here; American just like me.
I have no criminal background and yet I have no desire for a bunch of gun purchases with an amazingly ridiculous amount of ammunition, do you think that could have been a red flag??????
I'm just saying... take away all the similarities between them and me and the guns and ammo are the difference, true?
That's how we can stop them methinks, you too I hope.

On that note of what we could be doing is that, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
