What a week

What a freakin crazy week. The shooting at the school has continued to spurn a tremendous amount of debate about stricter gun laws and looser gun laws. And it appears its a pretty 50/50 split on what side of the fence people seem to land on.

I see today that the president has decided to take some serious action and try to come up with the help of a committee answers to some of the issues. They say... I guess we will see what comes out of all of this. I am hoping some real attention as to what has gotten us to this point in our country. We solve pretty much everything with guns or weapons. Our children our brought up playing shoot em up video games and watching fairly violent TV shows and movies. (No parents to not censor enough).

We have a lack of respect for human life that has run rampant the last few years. On top of that you have fear. Bottom line is  people are afraid. they don;t feel safe anymore. Crime is around every corner. Crime will more than likely affect each of us in varying degrees. Weather its something stolen to an actual assault. But it will more than likely touch the majority of us at least once if not a few times in our lives. Really? you might ask. But I think most of you are nodding your heads in agreement.

I don't have the answers but I do think we all need to try to find some. We can all start with how we treat each other everyday. All the people you encounter on a daily basis. Be mindful that EVERYONE has problems. The person that always looks so cheerful and doesn't seem to have a care in the world to the person that is always complaining about everything. Most likely they both have equal problems ,the first has just found a better way to deal with them. Be NICE to each other. Even if they are not all that nice to you. Try not to return it back. You will feel better if you don't.Maybe not right away ,but in the long run. Maybe by being nice to someone who is not will make them stop and think about their own actions.

I had a friend on FB post that she was going to do a random act of kindness for each victim of the shooting. Excellent idea.

Try to enjoy the holidays everyone. Feel thankful for those close to you.

It has been a long time since I posted on this Blog. I have been busy with the above new grandson! Who is now 5 months old. He has quickly become the light of many people's lives. I can feel my heart swell with love just by thinking about this lil punkin. He is an "observer" as I call him. He is ready with a smile but much of the time he can be seen observing those around him very intently.

He likes to flirt a bit and is intensely enamoured by his beautiful mommy. Where he can be seen watching her every move. I noticed that he is ticklish around his belly this week. I was careful not to take advantage of this discovery remembering how although the bottoms of my feet are VERY ticklish I DO NOT like to have them tickled.

I have also been very busy with work . We have been making some changes at the spa and we are going into this season with a bit of a new look and an energetic crew . Looking forward with anticipation to a hopefully busy winter season. So all in all with helping to watch my new grandson and work,and some time aside for friends,I have little time to write in this blog. All good reasons

On a somber note..

Today has been a tragic day for our nation . I would be remiss to not end my post today without sending out prayers to all the victims of the senseless violence at the School in Connecticut. This type of thing is becoming very commonplace and that is the most scary part of all. This underlines a very heated debate about gun control in our nation. One thing is for sure as long as there is easy access to auto fire and rapid fire weapons the death toll from these types of crazy acts will be large. Hold your children close and lets spend some serious time contemplating how we can help to heal society .
