After a t...This has been a sad time in our country. After a tragedy such as this, the feeling of being helpless to comfort any of the victims is overwhelming. Our need to watch it becomes an almost addiction and our lives seem sad & detatched from any happy thoughts. I think it is then, we need to step back and understand that our role in the tragedy, while important, is only that of support.<br>I was having a lot of trouble with that, but have now put it in perspective so I can go on with my life. It does not mean that I will turn my back on those suffering down South, I will not. I think we all have to sit down and decide how much money, time & energy we can afford to donate...then do no less than that to help get these people's lives back to some state of comfort.<br>Once we have, we then know we have done everything we can, to the best of our ability. Any worrying, depression, or anything else we do after that will not do anything to help them. We must remember that there are still good things in life, and that we have reason to celebrate what we have and not take anything for granted. It is after times of sadness that we need happiness the most.....we have to find ways to find it and return our little corner of the world back to normal. <br>As for your questions, all I can say is, there will never be a "back to normal" for them. It will take years, but they will create a new one. We are a great nation, and we will rise to the occasion and help them do it. Just remember that when a new tragedy is taking center stage in the news.....Katrina victims will still need our help and we must not forget them. I also refuse to join any bashing of our President, he loves this country and it's people or he wouldn't have taken the job of serving them. It is very easy to sit where we are, and say what should have been and should be done. Prayer and a commitment to stay the course with them....that is what will help.<br>Pooh Hugs,<br>Linda~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
