The Sigh of Relief This Country Needed....

Did you sleep better last night? I'm sure the people all over Bosten and Watertown, MA did last night.

One Boston Marathon, alleged, bomber dead and the other in custody. Lives wasted.

Now, to focus on the lives that need to be rebuilt. Boston has some of the most elite hospitals in the world. They will need to take care of the maimed needing to learn to walk again and emotional care will be endless for so many people.

I'm sending all my prayers to the families who have lost loved ones, those who need to rehabilitate, and any who need financially to be helped to do all of this with medical and more costly prosthetics. It would be miraculous if we could marry up our systems and get Walter Reid, Bethesda, and all the injured to get help with their injuries. We have the finest doctors in the world and unfortunately, there is now perfection in the field of prosthetics, due to endless war.

Let's Do Something...

Once Upon I Time I Took It The Wrong Way....

Once upon a time there was a girl in college, in Arizona, on a pay phone. I just aged the girl. She was talking to another girl,a friend since Girl Scout Brownies, in the far away land of California. She was me and I was alone. My moment was dire. She didn't know that, of course not, but she said some profound words to me. You should write a book. Friend, I hope you are proud of it, when this one is finished. I have taken an entirely new approach to this manuscript. Miss Priss, my other friend in the land of sand and beach, you were the antecedent of the original pay phone call :), so I can attribute the love of this to you, too. xoxo

I wasn't in a good place all those years ago and took those words the wrong way, or hey they were taken the right way. My friend may not even remember making them to me, at that moment. Whatever it was in her voice, those words stayed with me for 22 years. 

When words need to be said, then say them. If your heart is heavy, then share it with someone. Words need to be said sometimes and for sanity's sake SAY THEM! It's hard. Days and nights may even be more or even sleepless, due to words. Those few words may change your life. I'm not talking about my friend's writing a book comment, either.

Love and Peace Friends....
