In light of today's events, I'm not doing a real update. I'm too . . . sickened.

Rather, I encourage you to hug your loved ones. Be thankful for what you have and revel in the love you have around you.

Life is fragile, and can be shattered at any moment. Be thankful for it. Before you go to bed tonight, look at the stars or the moon. Watch your kids sleeping. Pet your dog. Find a bit of beauty and serenity in the world and hold on to it.
