Finding Hope in disaster #RunforBoston

I thought about doing my regular post today, then I thought about not doing a post at all. However I have obviously decided NO on the last and I am going in a different direction.

Tomorrow I will post some yummy grillin veggies.

In light of everything that has happened, it occurs to me that only in times of deep tragedy do we remember what "we" have and become grateful for it.

Why does it take a tragedy to remind us to not take life for granted? Hug your loved ones every day and tell them what they mean to you, you don't know what tomorrow holds. I learned that the hard way, but that is a story for a different day.

Today I will post positive quotes and a moment of silence for those lost yesterday.

I am hoping to create this wooden art that has been circulating pinterest with this quote!

I found this picture on facebook: This is Martin Richard, 8, who was killed in yesterday's attack. His sister and mother are critically injured. Check out his poster: "No more hurting people-Peace"

This quote has been circulating like mad, and it is my new favorite! <3

Very true- we may be a country divided on a lot, BUT when tragedy strikes we ALL band together!
