The news both last night on my drive back, and this morning, has left me so sad. In addition to the seemingly endless wars and killing, a nuclear reactor near to me has shut down as a precautionary measure following a leak in a boiler, an actor who brought much laughter has died following a suspected suicide due to his depression, and finally there was a report that one in 10 of us have no close friends and one in 5 of us haven't felt loved in the last fortnight.
I am lucky to have both many close friends and a sense of being well loved. But I feel overwhelmed in wondering how I can show love to all those people who don't feel it. Having heard the news item I had an urge to shout out of the car window to the stranger on the corner that he was loved. I didn't, and I don't think that's going to do it, is it. But today in my longer than usual day at work, I'm going to try even harder to show love to everyone I encounter.
Tho in more mundane news, I came home this morning to find the water tank has overflowed again, meaning everything in my airing cupboard is saturated. I'm going to be washing non stop for weeks...
