No. 14, 1960

I was going to write about the home explosion that happened Tuesday in my town.  I was going to outline what it made me think about and how it helped to solidify some of my recent life decisions.  But, the impact it has had on my small town is too overwhelming.  It is tragic and simply not about me or anyone but the Proudfoot family.  The young man, Robert Croft, was actually in my sister's graduating class.  He had moved in with his grandmother, Regina Proudfoot, last November to keep her company after the recent passing of her husband.  This is another reminder to not take anyone, anything, or any day in your life for granted.
 
I had a hard time thinking of an appropriate artist for this entry and I landed on Mark Rothko.  When you see them in person, his paintings make you feel peaceful.

Live happily and love with a full heart, anything less is a waste of time.
