Terrorism: Turning Bad to Good
The world we live in often presents more challenges then we feel capable of handling. They come in terms of just trying to get through the problems we face in our homes, on our jobs, our community and planning for our futures. Sometimes, it can seem like it's raining rocks and then something else comes along to put it all in perspective.
The recent terrorist attacks in England and Scotland have added that perspective. When we consider how our lives are different from those living in Europe, everything we're going through doesn't seem so bad. It's another example of good from bad. We can find the good in this terror, if we look for it.
Of course, you are anxious about all of this. It's natural to feel anxious when someone attacks places and people that aren't in war zones. How should we all respond?
Let this be a reminder to reconsider that old saying, "Count your blessings." You do have them and now is the time to sit down and think about them. Hug your loved one, plan something nice for yourself and let yourself kick back a bit and enjoy the simple things of life.

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for the reminder that sometimes many of the simple things in life can help us beat stress!
It's easy for people to get fixated on the negative, and sometimes they simply don't have the stress-coping skills to focus on what is good and positive.
A nice posting - thanks!

jamais entendu ni lu un traitement aussi simpliste de la problematique ni d'acceptation non comprise d'une gouvernance par la peur !
