I have supper to cook, a garden to weed, books to read, a house to keep, and budget to live within. I feed the birds and squirrels and raccoons. I give to my church and its various good deeds. I try to be kind to the people I live with and come in contact with. I reduce, reuse, and recycle. And that's about it for my making the world a better place.

Hardened???
1000 people killed in Egypt; 100,000 killed in Syria; 40 or 60 or 100 killed in Iraq or Pakistan in a day. The military takes over from the Islamists or the Islamists take over from the terrorists or vice versa. And my reaction?Turn off the radio. I am fleetingly sorry that people in various places and in various circumstances lead horrible lives. But I just don't want to listen to it. Is that sticking my head in the sand? So be it.

It is horrible what is happening and all the horror is hard to take. Since my cancer this year, I am trying not to internalize all the sadness...Michelle
Sometimes I get mentally paralyzed by it all and just have to look away!!
I am a fairly new reader of your beautiful blog and hope your cancer is being successfully treated. Sending you peaceful, healing thoughts!
