Making a Difference

Hey all. I've been reading up a storm. Eyes still intact.

Since Friday I've been thinking and reading about the teachers and children of Newtown. All that potential we will never know. All that difference the teachers were making to the children in their lives. All that difference the children were making in to those around them. And who knows what more they might have accomplished, other lives they would have influenced, the potential they had. That is lost to us now. But what is not is what we can do when we step out into the world today and all the days from now on. Many of you already make a difference and for that I more appreciative than ever. From today on I want to make even more of  difference and be more aware of that difference I can make, especially in the lives of children.

Hugs and love to you all.

    Much luck with your writing.
