Aches and Pains

I have a very bad back today. To the point where movement is a challenge! This seems so trivial compared to other news that has just recently broken. Jack Layton has died this morning. He had been taking time off to fight cancer but it was announced less than a month ago and he has died this morning. No one is sure what this will mean for the NDP party or for the future of Canada. It feels like we have been diverted from a path today and I hope that the future will still be as bright as it could have been.

Only time will tell...
