Boston Marathon. What should have been a fun, positive event that ended up turning into such horrific tragedy saddens me, like everyone else, deeply.   I had several friends at the Marathon (all thankfully ok!)  Some were runners, training for many months and so excited for this "big" event!  Others were spectators, watching alongside friends, family & their children as they cheered the racers running by.  Others were volunteers and were eagerly standing by-waiting to hand out water, help sort out the medals, & hand out the runner loot bags to all those that were in the race. To hear their stories and experience yesterday saddens me. 

However, in the worst of circumstances we often find the best of mankind.  The "helpers".  Those that quickly, selflessly jump into action to aid otherwise strangers around them in a time of need-this always amazes me....Such beauty in such awful circumstances. 

Events like this make us realize that it is certainly a different world that we live in and that we must (sadly) always be "on guard".  Yet we must not live in fear.  PEACE to our world as we now know it.  Be kind to each other--one day that "stranger" may be your hero.   PEACE.....
