Looking for something to look to...

There is nothing to be added or said to what occurred on Friday but I saw this and it really moved me.  Every Sunday, I watch the NFL - (Patriots!) and for the most of the time I look at the athletes as numbers on a jersey, sets of statistics or at the very most - a player that can help my team win and therefore make my week and my self-esteem just a little better.

But sometimes, you see a video like this and you remember there is a lot of good out there that we take for granted, forget or just plain don't see cause we're too wrapped up in our B/S about bills/parking/getting somewhere/office politics/etc./etc....

This was one of those videos:


And this....

And this..


My grandfather used to always say that there was a blessing in everything that happened - you just had to look.   When something as devastating, senseless and heartbreaking happens like what happened at Sandy Hooks Elementary, it's easy and understandable to say, "That doesn't apply to this..." but maybe, if this heartbreaking tragedy causes most of the country to hug their children more, count their blessings and help those around them... maybe just maybe, we can see a blessing - either way, I believe those little souls are in heaven now and what we do from here on out is our homage to them.
