Drowning in News, and learning to swim

  Dear friends,

Today I have not much to share, but a few things to say. Today is just another day in the life, and I'm taking a break from reading and writing, outside of this blogoteque of course. Today is one of those days where I sort through news headlines and stories, and really find myself unable to handle the breadth and importance of the information out there.

I became increasingly frustrated with not only the state of affairs the world over, but also the fact that I can not adequately keep up with all the stories and situations I want to. My insatiable thirst for news about the world and for stories about places and the people there will keep me reading and learning for years to come. I love talking to people about anything at all, and tell as many stories as I can.

"So let us change what we can, and accept what we can't...."
