One day he just said that he couldn't watch any more and I didn't blame him, between the caskets arriving in The Netherlands and the UN school bombing in Gaza, it was just too much. I guess the way to balance it is just to do happy stuff together with my kids, of course to them that means hours of video games. I hope you have a great week!Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-58403356516332870782014-07-28T23:12:40.801-04:002014-07-28T23:12:40.801-04:00I am so jealous that you got to read We Were Liars...I am so jealous that you got to read We Were Liars!

Hope you have good memories of your time away.<br />I read The Strain a couple of years ago and enjoyed the different take the author took on vampires, which I usually avoid. <br />I am also distressed about the state of the world, and try to keep positive thoughts about the vast majority of folks who don't want things to go this way. I have been a regular follower of pay it forward mentality since watching the movie/reading that book year ago. Even though I am not Buddhist, I appreciate the wisdom of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, "My religion is kindness".<br /><br />Have a good week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-75890077685849912232014-07-27T10:07:29.908-04:002014-07-27T10:07:29.908-04:00I'm with you and the world right now.
