In reaction to yesterday’s news….

I don’t know about you, but yesterday’s headlines punched me in the gut.  I can’t remember a more depressing day — well, I can. 9/11 was horrible.  But this is the Christmas season. We should be feeling “joy to the world” and all that stuff. Yet, it seemed like everything was going wrong. And as a layer of poop icing on the cake, I have some really sad things to deal with family-wise.  By the time I got home, I was beaten down. I felt no joy.  But then, my wife got well-deserved award and recognition. My son played in his first band concert. We had a moment in the van as a family when we just laughed.  I can’t control all the crap going on the world.  But I guess I can look for the good where it is and hang onto it for dear life.
