I've begun writing notes to myself. Usually on sticky notes. These are my thoughts that I collect throughout the day.

11/11/11

A text message I sent this morning after a lot of thinking, praying, and--to be honest--crying.

A woman just came in to our store to send $2000 to someone in Mexico who has kidnapped her son. I don't even know what to do with that. I don't even know who these people are--but all of a sudden it's just SO real for me. Not just another newspaper article. This isn't just another headline in the long list of how many bad things happen on a day to day basis. It's real life. Real bad things happening to real people. And of course I know that. But do I KNOW it so that it affects my day to day actions, my thoughts, my prayers?
