Morning routine: get up, put on the coffee, feed the bird and dog, bring coffee back to bed, turn on the news, try not to get depressed…. This morning I noticed a change in my attitude or outlook as I watched the news. I used to be horrified to hear of a shooting somewhere, killing and harming from one or many people. Then my horror was softened into a disbelieving head-shake. This morning I noticed something new. I found myself tuning into the news and asking, Where will the shooting be today?”
Because it’s happening every day, including today.
And it shouldn’t.
And I should NOT think of it as “business as usual.”
