So this morning, my wonderful boyfriend suggested to me that perhaps my blog ought to be changed to Procrastiranting, because that's pretty much what I do here - according to him. (He does concede that my rants have merit and admittedly, there are a couple of ranty posts on here) I think he's mistaking my passion for anger, or perhaps he's just concerned that he's going to become the subject of one of my rants..
Either way, in order to prove to him that I am capable of not ranting, and also capable of being brief..I wanted to say something today in "non-ranting" form. So here goes...
The subject of suicide has been all over the news for the last week. I'm not going to get in to the details of why as I fear that will merely lead me down the ranting garden path. Suicide, simply put is a tragic loss of human life and human potential that irreparably damages families, friends and loved ones. It is also entirely preventable.
So on this Thanksgiving weekend, I'm simply suggesting that you go home or wherever you go and wrap your loving arms around the people you care about. Hug them. Hug someone you think needs it, hug someone you think doesn't even need it. Tell them that you love them, why you love them, tell them you love them regardless of who they are, what they wear, what they say, what they did or will do. Tell them how important they are to you and how thankful you are to have them in your life. Reach out to someone who is alone. Let love explode out of you and on to the people around you, it's infectious and it's beautiful and it costs you nothing.
