Regardless of your political persuasion, I hope you'll agree that this message is one urging healing.
Here are a few excerpts from President Obama's memorial tribute in Tucson last night.
"Yes, we have to examine all the facts behind this tragedy... What we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other... Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let’s use this occasion... to listen to each other more carefully... to remind ourselves of all the ways our hopes and dreams are bound together...
How do we “nurture our relationships with those who are still with us”?
“In the fleeting time we have on this earth, what matters is not wealth or status or power or fame, but rather how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.”
Below is the President's whole speech, which I hope you will listen to if you haven't yet.

Thank you Sandi for the You Tube on Obama's speech to the folks or heroes in Arizona. It was so inspiring. Thank you for being out there for others.
You have a great blog.
