I don't know anyone directly affected by either the Manchester bomb or the latest terrorist incident in London, but I can't get either event out of my mind. I'm thinking particularly today of the parents of Eilidh MacLeod who will be burying their child and the many other parents who will be facing that devastating task in the days to come.
Yes, we have to get on with our own lives but these incidents have given me perspective. I am getting increasingly fed up with people whining about trivial things - "Someone has parked in MY space outside my house" or "the girl on the checkout was rude to me".
Why don't we just count our blessings, hug our children and be thankful that we are still all in one piece?
