Carry On

I don't have anything witty or profound on my mind but I wanted to write something to help me remember me how I felt today. After reading and listening to the accounts of yesterday's terrorist attack in Boston I thought ..what do we do now? The first responders ,doctors,witnesses,good Samaritans and reporters have all done there job. What do the rest of us do? We feel helpless,powerless and vulnerable. We say a pray for the victims and wish the survivors a swift recovery. We thank those who helped and count our blessings if we were not directly affected.  But for most of us there is little else that we can really do but carry on.

Kayla, my daughter, sent me a picture of armed military inspecting bags on the subway. I know that it is something that she has never been thru before but she went about her daily routine determined to carry on. I guess that is the best that we can do sometimes. Show who ever perpetrated this heinous act that collectively we are stronger than them, and that no matter what we will carry on.

Yesterday in just a few short minutes we saw the worst and the absolute best in humanity and for the rest of us it is time to.....carry on.
