Some days, it's not a good thing



http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/us/boston-marathon-explosions/index.html

Some days, my empathy is not a good thing.  Right now, my heart races, the tears well, every last muscle fiber is shaking.  I am in shock.  I can't function at a normal level.  

And the one person who I personally knew running in Boston is safe.

This is why I don't watch the news.  It's too hard.  It sends me into an emotional tailspin every. single. time.  Yes, I know it's reality but I cannot handle reality and function as a normal human being.  And I need to function.  I have people who depend on me. 

It's not that I don't care, it's that I care too much.  Too deeply.

    I am with you Shawn. It's ok to turn of the media and focus on our own homes.
    There is nothing we can do from here but to hold them in our hearts. (And send money to the Red Cross, I suppose.)
