I thought today was a great day.
I got up.
I was excited about the sunniness of it
I was excited about the heat of it.
I was excited about just going.
I was with a friend.
I was exclaiming joyfully about the exhilaration I felt being out
The sun burning
The sky bluing
And then…
We stopped.
And I learned
That this day that I thought was so great
Wasn’t so great after all.
I was so wrong.
Horrified and heart broken for Orlando families and friends.
Because?

Orlando, Florida killings Eric. Sorry, I added the last line. I was talking so much about it that I think I felt my thoughts were clear when it was in my heart. I had such a wonderful day….and then I heard…..

No, I was out having a fabulous day Priceless. I had gotten up early and hit the road with a friend for a long day of biking and being in the sun. It wasn’t until we stopped, afterwards, for a bite to eat that I heard about the horror in Orlando. So so horrific.

There is no understanding of the actions of a sick individual. There is no explanation or excuse for such atrocious actions.
