It is all very sad.

I'm a "news junkie" but I find myself unable to watch the news in the last few days. I switch over to sports, youtubes, or old movies instead.

It is extremely depressing.

Those were such beautiful children.

I wish we could melt down all the guns and send them into space. They are a barometer of the sickness in America.

They will continue until we can barely function. Until we understand that they are in charge and there is nothing we can do.

This is how abusers operate.

and this week a family member with mental health issues got involved in a SWAT situation and will be in custody for some time, probably not getting the help he really needs (and his family suffers for it, as well).
Sometimes you just need to unplug and watch cartoons.

We all have to experience rough seas sometimes, I suppose.
