Our papers have been inundated with stories on the Fires raging across the state of CA, many in our area. We haven't had a smoke free day in WEEKS! It looks like a coastal fog surrounding us. Today is pretty clear though, I can see the sun!!
The most recent story though, just yesterday, was a VERY sad one about a young firefighter killed when he was helping to cut down the damaged trees. He was only 18yrs old. Same age as my oldest son. My heart broke for his poor family and I cried just thinking about it. So sad......
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. ~~ George Carlin
oh gosh kim and tracy .. NOW i need ya' to cheer me up by telling me some happy news in your papers!
you know .. i have not watched a TV news program or read a newspaper since retiring FIFTEEN years ago! honey-hunk has instructions to give me fifteen minutes notice if he hears the world is coming to an end .. sooo that i can call the children and grands and tell them i love them!
ha! i think i keep happier NOT knowing all the saddness in the world! xo
I usually don't read the local newspaper. If I do, I spend too much time finding errors, there is usually not much positive news. I don't need negative news, all I have to do is turn on CNN or any other news show. I agree with Frannie. I don't need to know all the sadness. Marly
