Poised above the keyboard, trying to find words to give you. You're not alone, I found myself thinking when I heard this latest massacre, "I wonder if the victims vote to keep people like this in weapons". That was a cold , cruel, heartless thought. I'm finding my compassion waning. And that is so not the person I am.

I cancelled my satellite tv in 2015 when I moved to a different state, my life has been better and I encourage you to do the same.
