Well, after yesterday, I think I have come to realise, that you have to get on with life, no matter what it throws at you. I avoided the disaster zones yesterday, but there were so many caught up in it all. I have a lot of mixed feelings towards what happened here in London yesterday. I am angry that people thought that blowing up a bus and three tubes that they would be making a point. I feel awful for the families of those who lost loved ones, who do not know what happened to their friends and family yesterday. There are a lot of unanswered questions today, and will be for some time. I am happy that Scott and I avoided being caught in the disaster. I am impressed with the way that the emergency services worked yesterday under the extreme pressure of the situations they faced.

All of that may not make much sense, but today, not a lot of things do. Tubes are returning to normal, apart from the ones blown apart. Buses are running. But many people are not going to work today. Either their offices are closed or they just cannot face going on public transport so soon. But on the other hand, people did make the trek into work, to show that they will not be intimidated by these terrorists.

I entirely agree.

I will not be intimidated by the work on some maniacs who tried to disturb the peace in London.
I will not stay at home on the off chance that something might happen.
I will not live my life in fear, in London or anywhere else in the world.

Alex: Your positive affirmations make sense and are reasonable.

The whole world is now a more *challenging*, complex and confronting, and less predictable place now than it was many years ago. Pity that. OTOH life is good. YAY!!!!!!!

Take care and stay well... PmR
