I haven't heard most of what's happened in the world this week, or for any length of time, for that matter (I only just heard of Boston in my therapy group on Tuesday), because I don't watch the news, don't read newspapers or headlines, and don't have internet accounts that are full of advertisements and headlines. So I'm pretty isolated from it all. My heart goes out to all of us, all of the time. I am glad this thread was started. There is much wisdom and beauty in what you all have to say and it reminds me of how precious all life is. It reminds me to get back to basics and enjoy what I have while I have it, and to be a good steward.
