Sometimes, we look at our lives and think about everything that has not gone the way we wanted and we complain about whatever is going "wrong". Sometimes we dwell on things that drag us down...And then we hear of real tragedies that make our "troubles" pale in comparison.
Today, 32 random people died...shot to death by an anonymous individual...for reasons not yet known. It happened at a well known and well respected university located in a seemingly friendly town. Read about the Virginia Tech shootings here.
Just this past week, I faced a lot of personal challenges and managed organizational crises. I am exhausted. But what happened today at Virginia Tech is enough to remind me that last week is now the past. I can no longer change what has happened, what has been said, what has been done. BUT I am still able to do what needs to be done. I am still alive. That is enough.
