I am not behind on the news. I've been hearing & reading the same sad stories about the devastation in New Orleans as everyone else. About the aftermath of Katrina. People suffering unimaginably right here, a few states over. My husband buys gas too. I am not unaware.
Everyone seems to be talking about it, everywhere I go. Some are sad, some are mad - some just trying to make sense of it all.
I have yet to say a word to anyone. It's not that I am unaffected. Or uncaring. I don't feel the need to weigh in my 2 cents. I am so sorry about what so many people are going through, yet that somehow feels inadaquate.
I just want it to be understood that when things are overwhelming and sad I may choose to be quiet. It's not because I don't care. It's because I do.

Thank you, April. Thank you for saying what I feel so very eloquently.
April, from what I've just read, you deal and cope the way that my husband and my best friend do. I think that it's important that those around you know that this is your way of dealing with things. You expressed it so well. Big hugs.
Very well said, April. I feel the same as you!
