For Giving

"Forgive me," does not mean "I'm sorry".

Hostility is excellent fodder for poetry

:(

The world is really going to hell in a handbasket...
wheee!

Honestly, I fear for the future. I watched 3days in September, (part of it) and bawled for hours. At what point does one lose that little thing inside called "Human decentcy"? WHO COULD EVER HURT A CHILD? What kind of monsters can we as humans become? It makes me sick, and scared.

The other night at Applebee's I imagined a terrorist taking the restruant hostage. Would they let us go because we have a baby? Would I have to leave my husband behind? Or would we be trapped together? I found myself looking for escape routes...could the table stop a bullet?

To think, a few years ago my only concern was celebrity gossip... sickening.

Fire

I saw on the news yesterday a woman who threw her baby from the 3rd story of a burning apartment building in New York. Rescuers caught the baby below who was not breathing and gave it CPR. The baby revived quickly and the mother was rescued by firefighters. Both mother and child are going well.

It's like Ice Water in my veins.
Could I ever do that?
Yes.
It would be the scariest thing in the world
but if it meant saving his life.
I would.

I pray I never have to.

My moral dilemma

Today at the check out at Top Foods I faced an interesting moral dilemma. The man in line before me had forgotten his pack of cigarettes on the counter. I was faced with a choice... Tell the man he left them, or say nothing. After all smoking is unhealthy and I abhor it. I would do nothing to promote it, but in the end I called him back.

"Excuse me, sir! You forgot your cigarettes but they're not good for you!"

I got a couple of stares and a few chuckles...

There I've done my civic duty.
