Sometimes there are horrible things that happen in the world and you almost need to get lost in something else for you not to dwell on it.
Work was a distraction from the tragedy in Colorado. Watching a movie was a distraction from media coverage of said tragedy. Reading a book, petting some cats, doing a crossword, all things that were distracting me from focusing on what has happened.
I don't need to watch news story after news story about what happened.
I know it happened and it's very upsetting but I am very thankful for the distractions I had today as to not break down in tears and focus on the pain and sadness in the world.
