A Time Under Stress View

There are no words that can cover all that we feel - as a nation, as individuals, as players in the games rooms. Each of us has been touched in different ways - some good, some not so good.

We are all under stress. Feelings and emotions are close to the surface. We come out here for company - whether we sit in the lobby and talk or listen or whether we play in games and tourneys. We are coming together because we need to be with others.

Take a deep breath, don't be too quick to react in anger or hurt or disappointment. Be a little forgiving of everyone. We show stress in different ways, and we need to give us all a chance to heal.

Know that you are loved and prayers are with all in these times of stress. Know that you are appreciated for who and what you are.

  I agree 100% with dragonlady and I urge each and every one of our players to deal with your feelings and share them with someone.I apologize for not being around much the last few days, but I am spending as much time as I can with my Mother. I have a daughter that was very close to being on one of the flights that were a part of all these unspeakable acts, as I am sure so many of us had loved ones that were invlolved in one way or the other. Just rememember all of us are hurting now and the stress is so strong, but together we can all get thru this. I love each and every one of you and I pray that you are all safe.
