There Are No Words

Whoops.
Apparently almost a whole month has gone by without a trace of action on the blog. I'm not sure what happened and I really don't know how to explain this pattern of absence over the past few months. It's interesting to me though, writing on the blog is something I really enjoy doing which further confuses things. Without further ado and unnecessary dwelling, I shall pick up where I left off, giving thanks.

Before I do however, I must pause for a second to share my condolences for yesterdays tragedy in Connecticut.

 

Of course any situation involving innocent lives being taken is tragic but when it involves young children there's something very hollow and bitter that comes over you. The sadness seems to run deeper; whether it's appropriate to say that or not I'm not sure but for me, the sadness runs much deeper. When I think about the children I've cared for and taught over the years I simply can't imagine feeling anything but extreme love and joy for them and am and will be forever thankful for somehow being lucky enough to have them all in my life. Feeling anything less or worse, inflicting harm on children, is unforgivable and completely unfathomable to me. You don't mess with kids. You just don't. No amount of justice will ever be enough for the people responsible for this crime. I'm at a complete loss for words. To the community and families- my heart goes out to you and I wish for peace and healing with time. Take care of one another, now and always.
