Daily triumphs of ordinary people challenges terror

I LOVE the way Facebook can take the things ordinary people say and do and show that, very often, there is something truly extraordinary in the everyday.

Take this post from a friend of a friend: “Just thinking that in this last week I’ve seen my various friends survive the attack in Nice, or celebrate their daughter’s 16th birthday or their own, relax by a lake… be a proud parent, enjoy the good weather, post a recipe… attend a book launch, go to the theatre, look amazing, be hilariously funny, be political, walk for miles, edit a book, support animal rights, and so much more.”
