Heaviness and an Unintentional Surprise

I've been exceptionally serious this week, mostly because I've been seeing a lot of anger in the news lately, not just in this country, but in the world.  It's been bothering me a lot.  Of course, anger's always bothered me, but this is really bothersome to see it so widespread.  Yes, anger can make changes, but is it really for the better?  This type of anger I am witnessing is only leading us to more hate, more violence...not the best way to love our fellowmen and to regain world peace.  It's bleak looking in a way right now, but on the other hand, I have a firm belief that no matter how difficult it may be to see or find, there is always a positive to a negative.  So look up to the light and continue on!  There is hope for all those who seek it!

I've had to remind myself of that this week while my heart was heavy.

On a lighter subject, I spent all day laughing yesterday because I unintentionally scared someone out of their mind.  I was just walking up to him to give him something he asked me to get for him, but unfortunately, his back was turned so he didn't see me coming.  All I did was walk up to him and say something--in my usual quiet voice.  I have never seen someone jump that high before.  The people who saw it told me that, "I got him good." That was a great laugh.  He told me that I just aged him five years and he teased me about that for the rest of the day--claiming he was needing a cane now.  Even now it's still funny.
