Some blog readers were there today. I hope you guys are all right!

Glitzylady and her husband were there today and according to her twitter, they are okay! Brownie's brother was running in the marathon and hopefully he's alright!

But unfortunately there are people who have died in this and many more who are severely injured.

If you're in Boston, be careful and take care!

Federal authorities have officially classified the bombings as a terrorist attack. And President Obama is going to speak soon...

I am praying and sending thoughts to everyone there. I can't believe this happened. Watching the news on TV makes me want to cry, seeing people hurt everywhere. Very scary day. I hope this doesn't turn into something much bigger, like 911.

Thanks all for the messages of concern, for myself, my husband..and the victims and the people of Boston. My husband finished the Marathon literally moments before the blasts, and was about a block away when they detonated. I had just gotten off the subway on my way to meet him. There were people running everywhere, sirens, emergency vehicles everywhere, confusion, and eventually, tears, worry and fears about those friends and loved ones whose whereabouts was unknown for a time. Cell phone service was turned off as a security measure. New reports and rumors of other bombs, subway closures, the feeling of not knowing what was happening and feeling insecure and suddenly vulnerable. And of course ultimately thankful that my friends and family there to celebrate the Boston Marathon were safe and accounted for. My prayers and thoughts of safety and healing to the city of Boston and all of those affected by this tragedy.

I heard there were 7 bombs. OMG. If all 7 bombs had detonated, this would have been 100 times worse.

7:38, be careful, there has been much misinformation today and news reports have been changing. It is going to take a while for the confusion to settle down and real facts to be reported.

@ Glitzylady, Brownie, anon5:34 and anyone on this site that had family, friends in harms way, I'm stunned and so grateful that you and yours were spared. I was enroute to Ft. Lauderdale airport to board a flight to Atlanta and then to Charlotte when I first heard this frightening news. I was able to watch tv coverage during the flight and it sickened me. The death of the 8 yr old child,un-named other person and the horrific maiming of others is almost too much to bear. The man seated next to me in the air was at 911, witnessing it and losing his business partner. This brings that tragedy back full force. When I landed tonight around 10:30PM there were 4 huge tv trucks outside of baggage claim. They may have been waiting for Boston passengers, but I just don't know. Thank God you and hubby are safe, Glitzy. Brownie, so glad your brother is also safe. Sorry I missed you at Gay Pride. I'll post more later. It pales in importance after this painful disaster. @ 5;34, You are also in my thoughts and so glad your cousin is safe. Each day is a gift and it reminds us to hold our loved ones closer. My prayers are with all of you and the victims and families of this horrible tragedy. I just don'y know what to say...

Such a tragic day for the innocent Marathon runners, their friends, families, volunteers, all first responders, spectators who were injured or, worse yet, those poor souls who did not live to see another day. It left me sickened to think we are still so vulnerable to horrific acts of senseless terrorism.

My prayers go out to the people of Boston to bring comfort in their time of sorrow.

Thank you, glitzylady, brownie and others we may know here in our Glamily, that were involved in some way, for your bravery and keeping in touch with us to report back and let us know you are okay.

Hopefully, the truth will be known soon as to who is responsible for this tragedy and they will be brought to justice.

When awful tradegies like this happen, lives bond together, no matter who we are or where we're located throughout the world. Thoughts and hearts are with those in Boston right now.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone effected by the tragedy in Boston, Mass. A senseless act of madness brings home the true meaning in life. Love is the answer and hate and anger bring only despair and heartbreak. Peace and light to all the Glamily on this site wherever you call home..nancdruuu2

at least 40 people have been killed by a major earthquake near the Iran-Pakistan border.

So sorry to hear about the earthquake in Iran-Pakistan! I remember my grandmother, who immigrated from Italy, telling me about an earthquake she experienced firsthand - having to run as fast as she could to avoid being enveloped by the quake! So much suffering all over the world. All we can do is hope and pray to make it through another day it seems. Light and love to our friends all over the globe who are enduring so much pain and hardship....nancdruuu2

Awful hearing about this earlier today. So glad you and your husband are safe Glitzylady, and you Brownie. What a terrible day for you. My friend was running in the marathon, she's ok too thank goodness, she was a couple or 2 away when the bomb went off.
Sending prayers to all those envolved.

Glitzylady I am so glad you are OK. I was worried something like this might happen at the Miami gay pride festivities, but never at the Boston Marathon. I really wish Adam would not do those events, because there are so many wackos out there. I pray they catch this guy or guys. This is just such a senseless act to me. This is terrorism no matter who did it, in my opinion.
