Kittens and cupcakes...

I saw the terrible pictures of the end of the Boston marathon and, as always, I was surprised by not being surprised at all. It's terrible when we expect these things - we don't know where or when they are coming but we aren't surprised when they happen. I guess the best we can do is support whoever it affects as best we can and thank whatever that it wasn't us and ours.

It’s not the answer though.

Later on Facebook I watched the responses of my friends – outrage, empathy, anger, confusion - all of these and more, and rightly so.

Facebook, a place where we can share our thoughts, update our status, but best of all sometimes get away from the world and lose ourselves in a picture of a grinning baby, a smiling cat or an overly pink cup cake. 

Not the real world at all.

I know it can be annoying but life is far too long to live without insignificant rubbish. I hope people keep posting pictures of kittens and their dinners... the bad stuff will happen anyway.
