If you missed my piece, you can find it here. In the meantime, I’ll continue clicking on every heartfelt link I see. The beauty pouring out of humanity after a disaster like this is the stuff life is made of. I’m sad but encouraged that, as Patton Oswalt wrote, the good DO outnumber the evil — and we always will.
Thanks for sharing your hearts, everyone. I’m grateful to social media for bringing us together — the hearts and minds I wouldn’t have known otherwise.
I’m thankful that my “friends from the Internet” — whose blogs I read, whose tweets I follow, whose races I cheer for behind my screen were all okay yesterday.
