Just as many of us, my heart goes out to the Solders and Families of those effected by the recent tragedies in Fort Hood and Florida. I'm not alone in thinking that with the approaching holidays this should be a time of hope, love, comfort, family, friendship and celebrations. Instead many are reflecting on life and loss. Sitting by bed sides, waiting for phone calls, reminiscing and asking "why"? Unfortunately, those answers are not easily found (at least not by a simple little weddings, events and design blog). I, like so so many others, are only able to send my prayers and support to those going through such times.
In a time of such sorrow I find it helpful to remember that these are the times where we as humans can be at our best, where we can show how strong, courageous, resilient, compassionate, optimistic, and yes, loving we can be. Fear, hatred and negativity can be infectious but the good news is so is hope, positivity, joy, strength and inspiration - pass it like cold. As the we grow closer to Thanksgiving I ask that we commit to connecting and sharing joy. Be a little kind, cherish each moment, laugh more, hug a little longer, say a kind word to someone who may need to hear it, sing for no reason (even if it's just to yourself), share enthusiasm, joy and good spirits. And oh yah, it you get a chance dance a little (even if it's just in the living room by yourself when no one is home).
For those of you who follow us (me) on Facebook or Twitter you've enjoyed sharing this I forwarded the link a couple of weeks ago. This video is fun, amazing and make me feel good...
Blessed wishes!
