God gave us tears and we should use them. They are a cathartic release for the body. I cried loads when I watched the Today show the morning after Robin Williams died...and again when Jim Foley's parents appeared. And again watching Billy Crystals tribute to Robin on the Emmys.

He wasn't someone who had been brutalised by a tough life under an unfair and impoverished regime. He left this country (and although life isn't always easy here it can't compare to the hardships in some of these regions) and joined a terrorist force who embody evil and cruelty and ended up beheading an innocent man. Why did this happen? How can this have been allowed to happen?

I am still stunned over Robin Williams but maybe God just needed some laughter in Heaven. So, it's ok to share Robin with Him I suppose. I am trying to focus on the good things, like the two doctors who beat Ebola and will help the world with a cure, or the sweet little league team from the mean streets of the Southside of Chicago competing at the Little League World Series. But most importantly, turn off the TV because the media only focuses on the devastation and not the inspiration. Perhaps we should have a blog challenge where bloggers only post inspirational stories for a week. I haven't been posting much on my blog but you've just inspired me to seek out heartwarming stories to write about.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731316406748178750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-67474904581142165652014-08-22T11:35:15.042-07:002014-08-22T11:35:15.042-07:00Suzan, your funny blog always makes me smile and f...Suzan, your funny blog always makes me smile and feel better... so never forget that you are making a difference in this insane world.<br />xoxoJulie @ followyourheartwoodworkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186806888262891917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-15561150334784609792014-08-22T11:28:23.086-07:002014-08-22T11:28:23.086-07:00So many of us are feeling overwhelmed with it all ...So many of us are feeling overwhelmed with it all right now. :( Hugs!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749734347647016111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-67205257098636399902014-08-22T09:33:37.564-07:002014-08-22T09:33:37.564-07:00{{{{{{{{Suzan}}}}}}}} I'm still grieving for ...{{{{{{{{Suzan}}}}}}}} I'm still grieving for Robin Williams, too.bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353836074794786357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-14589197151272137582014-08-22T08:43:14.389-07:002014-08-22T08:43:14.389-07:00Dearest Suzan, I am sending a dozen hugs your way!...Dearest Suzan, I am sending a dozen hugs your way!!!!
