Delay...

This morning I was thinking about my 52 weeks of Happiness post, and had my ideas lined up. The time now seems inappropriate, and it feels like there are other things I am supposed to say. The problem is that I have no idea what those things are. I do know that words like terror, tragedy, fear and heartbreak are a completely awful intrusion upon words like joy, hope and peace. Apparently that is all that I know...

  2. This has really brought our country to its knees. I cannot imagine the grief, and my heart breaks for this community.

  3. Like you Andrea, I'm at a loss for words. Although I'm across the pond, we're feeling the shock over here too.

  4. I have been alternately shifting between despair and all out weeping today. I can not grasp this.

  5. I finally built up enough courage to watch the evening knews after hearing about this earlier. I'm on my second box of Kleenex. Tragedy doesn't even begin to describe the heartbreak for all those involved.

  6. I agree with Marianne. There truly isn't a word in the English language that can convey the depth of despair that goes along with something like this.

  7. Really, there are no words for such horror. We can only grieve.

  9. The whole thing is...bewildering. It's hard to find the words to talk about what happened.

  10. Accidentally hit publish...

    So much grief. These words of yours come as close as anything to explaining how I feel: "I do know that words like terror, tragedy, fear and heartbreak are a completely awful intrusion upon words like joy, hope and peace."

  11. I think it's all any of us know.
