New Post

It's been nearly a month since my last posting.  Busy, busy, busy equals exhausting, but it is good to be busy.  Those shootings sure were disturbing last Friday.  I went on facebook, my current addiction of choice, and people wrote about these shootings.  I google searched it in disbelief and alas it really happened.   So much for a normal day at school for a bunch of innocent adults and children, right?  Schools should be the safest and most nurturing places on the face of the earth.  Well, so much for that idea, and this has been occuring numerous times I might add.  What causes these shooters to open fire is something I am not qualified to answer.  The kid who was the gunman's mother shouldn't have had a gun in the house, that's for sure.  There are so many accidents and uintentional, and intentional problems with guns, need I say more?  Plus if someone is angry, escaping with a kick in the nuts beats a gun shot wound, right?  I don't mean to offend anyone with that remark, but I am putting home the issue at hand here.  Just, the plain fact is that the mother of the shooter owned a gun.  These things are complicated, but I have no idea why she owned a freaking gun.  I really don't know what the answer is.  Not owning a gun would help though.  There are many tragic events in the world each day, and this one hit me really hard, as it did many people.  Seeing the video of that sweet little girl playing the piano and singing is heart breaking.  We lost a potentially great musician and human being there.  She was just having fun and being a kid.  Many people with careers, marriages, and children of their own in the future were lost.  These children were part of our great hope for future generations.    One or many of these children could have made a huge difference in the world, and they have been stripped of that chance.  The main thing is they were innocent people partaking in normal school activities.  Imagine being a family member or friend of the victims and trying to accept the situation.  Isn't acceptance a bitch sometimes?  It sure is here.
   I'm pretty lucky, as are a lot of us to have our lives and health.  I have a choice of whether to enjoy life or not in this very moment in time.  Since events continually occur that prove how precious life is, enjoying life is a good idea.  Life can be flat out exhausting and what not, but hey I'll take it.  The blessings in my own life out weigh the problems by a million pounds.
