Happy Earth Day 2013
Happy Earth Day! For something completely different, here is some of the "earth" I've been blessed to see this morning, all before 9am.

Boston is a reminder
I was having a good day yesterday. We went to Old Sturbridge Village. We taught our daughter about Patriots Day, and about what freedom meant.
Then we left and heard the news about the Boston Marathon.
Our hearts go out to all involved.
And while that is happening I have to really fight to not feel overwhelmed. I remind myself that I didn't cause it, I can't control it, and I can't cure it. I am powerless. I must let it go and let a higher power take over.
A chance to let Alanon touch my life where I might not expect it.
This is a crazy world we live in, no doubt.
I am so grateful that I have these tools to help me cope.
Amen.
