(no subject)

Thank you to everyone posting encouraging, calming posts and/or posts that reaffirm a call to action in their LJs. I need them today, and that means that probably lots of other people do too.

I am fighting sorrow---wearing the all black of mourning and eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts in quantity.

But, having read your posts, I am going to take a deep breath and just let these feelings pass. They are only feelings, and these thoughts are only thoughts. Only actions have teeth, and we can control our own. Many of you have suggested really good actions already.
