Jinnyann, I don't think you are over reacting. UK is on "high alert" terrorist attacks. That says a lot... It is not like "out of the blue" you are worried about terrorist attacks. It is a reality!

It seems the terrorists what to create fear. And that is pretty much what they are doing. My suggestion is to not let fear of terrorists attacks control you. Be cautious, be wise, but go about your daily life as "normal" as you can.

I say this, because a few years ago, in Virginia, there were two Beltway snipers, killing several people. It was scary, because you didn't know where they would strike next. I was at the local library and felt very uneasy just getting out of my car. Looking over my shoulder, trying to see anything or anyone that looked suspicious. I was afraid. It is normal to be afraid. I was happy they were finally caught. I will be happy when all this "terrorist" activity is stopped.

Oh, the Beltway snipers and terrorist attacks are far from being the same. I just used the beltway snipers as an example as to avoid any political discussion that would merit my post being deleted.

..Keeping you and your family in my prayers..
