Day 2 was a bit of a blur. I was busier than I have been in years .. years .. it is a good feeling to have goals, and to be able to accomplish something tangible.

I am wondering how to remain positive when I am surrounded by negativity. The amount of insanity in the world. The latest news story on CNN, Iraq Suicide Bomber targets hospital in triple attack. Did the bomber wake up and think, "today, I will kill people". I cannot fathom the violence that people in the middle east are forced to deal with daily, hourly.

I aim to think only of the positive .. so .. again, thanks mom and dad for moving to Canada, and raising us here. Thanks for NOT moving us to Iran in the 80's (it indeed was a plan much discussed in our household). Thanks for raising me to be aware, and kind, and to have respect for life.

I meditated last night, for about 15 minutes.

Day 3 started off in an awful way. No need to share/perpetuate. It is over and time for me to move on from my irritation.

After dropping the kids off to school, Jeff and I went to the lake, to breathe and appreciate the beautiful lake in front of us. We live in a gorgeous community, and I felt the tension drift out of me as we watched the ice fishermen moving about, pulling ice huts behind their four wheelers.

Do we all live in little bubbles of our own making? I often wonder what daily life is like for people living in places I have never been. We are all connected, through our energy/vibration, how we can raise ourselves above the nastiness?
