Junerain,
Tuesdays with Morrie was an excellent book good choice! I highly recommend if you are looking to for something insightful to fill the void this week. That's a character one could definitely try to emulate. I also read Seven People You Meet in Heaven by the same author. I didn't think it was as good. I bought his latest book One More Day for a friend of mine this Christmas but haven't had the chance to read it myself.

I haven't read the others or seen any of the movies you mentioned--I'll check them out. THANKS

How about music??? I was walking today and used my son's ipod. I heard the following song from the Goo Goo Dolls. I've heard it before but for some reason, really listened to the lyrics today--how appropriate. Must have been thinking about forgiveness and found a little in this song.

GOO GOO DOLLS LYRICS

Better Days

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

Hope everyone is coping well tonight!
