That's what I'd like to know. The senseless tragedies to our fellow human beings. It breaks my heart just to think of the pain those families go through and for what. It didn't prove anything. It didn't solve any of the worlds woes. It just causes more intolerance and unnecessary blame and name calling. Yes, we should be more careful of what we say. There are unstable people in this world who take things literally and act accordingly. But if I thought for a moment that they were calling for this kind of thing to happen it would make me question the sanity of the entire human race. Though we do deal with many (Taliban, Al-Quida etc) I still believe basically that humans are good and only want peace and to live their lives according to their own beliefs, not force them on others. Enough of that soap box.
Friday is upon us and another week has flown by. I didn't even realize I hadn't put up a blog and I can't for the life of me tell what I did this week that kept me from it. I know I checked on others and left some comments. I must have had to get off for something and never got back. I'll have to watch that.
Tomorrow is the big Packer/Falcon game. Of course I and my friends and family (for the most part as there are a few Bear fans in that group) are pulling for the Packers while our friend Miss Beth is pulling for the Falcons. We will probably be on fb having fun with each other as the game progresses. We did that last week and had a great time with Bob who was rooting for the Eagles. He even changed his profile picture to a Packers logo. Good boy Bob. I hope it will be a good game and not on of the one-sided ones by either team. Sorry Beth, but GO PACKERS! LOL
Been working on writing down some more memories of growing up. It's funny how somethings come up so easy and others are just non-existent. Will probably put up some more somewhere along the way.
I agree with you about the senseless tragedies. Katy Couric had a very interesting piece on her program last night about mental illness and what we are NOT doing to help the mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteI am not a football fan but I hope your team wins.
What a great idea about writing those memories. I started and forgot that I had and they are sitting somewhere on the hard drive.
ReplyDeleteWill be a great game! I have the popcorn!
ReplyDeleteGlad you will try and post more. We all know you are quite busy. Have ah great day girl.
I've done pretty well with blogging since I've got a day I do it every week which helps me stay punctual...maybe when spring rolls around at last I'll do some more...you never can tell. Right now the cold and greys outside don't do much to inspire quite frankly.
ReplyDeleteI and Kassey are trying to keep the blogging going.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday dearest Danielle. xxoxox
ReplyDeleteIt’s Friday and the weekend is upon us. Here’s hoping that you will make the most of the next few days, make them count! Enjoy your weekend Terry.

There's no answer to that question. If there were we could prevent it and put those who are beyond help out of harms way.
ReplyDeleteThere is always a reason behind actions. In the case of harming others, I think often times people crave control. By bringing fear and harm to others, the person gains power and control over the harmed individuals. Life doesn't hold the same value for them that it does others. Our world seems so divided: by culture, by religion, by race, by gender, by sexual orientation, by political boundaries, by money, by so many "us vs. them" factors. The first step that we can all take, the way to peace, is empathy.
ReplyDeleteTime sure does fly by most days, wonder why that is? I was asking myself this same question just a few days ago. I just don't understand... *sigh* I use to not believe in the old saying the the older you are, the more time seems to fly by. Now I do. It really does seem like it.
