Thought for the day

i got up this morning and almost bypassed my every day morning routine.  i'm getting so tired of turning on my computer and all i see is violence.  Yesterday, i got home from a full day and logged onto Facebook only to hear about the shootings in Oregon.  It is such a tragedy, but as many people pointed out, it is also such a normal occurrence in this country that that is just as tragic.  i was riding high after a spirited discussion in my English class and this news totally popped my balloon of good feelings.  i do not understand why these things happen, but i'm getting so tired of it being the norm.

i realize that i am an adult in the age of technology and that there is almost no way to survive these days without it.  But sometimes i just feel like letting go of it and living in my own bubble for awhile.  Obviously, i won't do that, but i need to find something good to focus on in order to keep my sanity in check.  That is all.

Do something good today.  For yourself or someone else.
