Attitude in Trauma and Tragedy


Today is Veteran's Day and yesterday was the memorial service at Fort Hood yesterday for the massacre that took place and I heard a great deal of commentary on WWI, WWII and wars around the world. I remembered when I was in a dark place, I read the wisdom of Viktor Frankl who was in a darker place and he said "The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances." Despite everything, we always have the inner ability to smile, to laugh and to pray. So I will make this a good day.
