Life Lately... The Tough Stuff

It's hard writing a blog post when your heart isn't quite into it. Words seem pointless and meaningless when something horrendous happens.  If you've seen the news you'll know what I'm talking about. 

It hits hard in a way you never thought it would.  To face the reality of hate.  It's a hard thing to come to terms with.  To realise that it is everywhere.

Yet despite all the hate there is also a lot of love.  A lot of goodness.  So I'm doing my best to concentrate on that and on all the good people in my life.  My partner.  My friends.  My family.   

I also have hope.  Hope that one day love, compassion, empathy and acceptance are the norm and that hate has no place in the world.
