Day 145: Jumbled Mess

My mind   is a jumbled mess - thoughts going in so many different directions.

I have the happy/excited thoughts of my up coming trip to Chicago.

I have the satisfied thoughts of a job well done today - the children & I went outside to walk, run & ride bikes (everyone chose their mode of exercise).

I have the "a-ha" thoughts from my Kung Fu class where the logic of a certain step finally got through my thick skull.

I have the "working overtime/hope it all comes together" thoughts for a project that I am in charge of & which is due this Thursday.

And I have the "what the heck is wrong with this world thoughts" as I vainly attempt to NOT think about the Boston explosions.

My heart aches for the victims and their families. But my temper also boils at the person/people who could have done something so awful...but as I wonder why, I also wonder if this is the end or the beginning to a very bloody summer.

Doesn't it seem as if there has steadily been an increase to violent acts lately? or at least an increase to the media's coverage of violent acts - specifically ones committed by guns?

I don't want to turn this into a political post.

I just have a jumbled mind and I am trying to unjumble it.

Everything I have typed (and erased) for the last 5 minutes has sounded like I am either preaching, bragging or whining! Jumbled thoughts in deed.

I hope everyone is safe tonight and feel loved.

Happy Walking!
