Bin Laden Is Dead

So, this blog has turned into a personal journal of sorts.  I haven't even told anyone that I am blogging.  My friend, Dan, started a blog and I thought to myself that I needed to take the hint.  I don't know how many other people feel like they have a book inside them.  I have always said that truth is stranger than fiction.  The question is, who cares about my truth?  We all have our own truths and I haven't found one that I am completely in sync with.  I have found compatibility but not identical.

So, this weekend was a really good weekend.  Personally and as a collective whole.  Friday, I took my sons engagement pictures and was good.  Learning about my new daughter in law.  That's good.  Saturday, my husband and I refinished a desk for his office.  You know how it is when you feel like something is not working for you or functioning?  Well, Jeff has designed a new office layout.  Change is good.  I cleaned out my flower garden of the weeds and debris of the winter.  That night, I'm sitting talking weddings when BAM!  Bin Laden is Dead!  Collectively as a whole, the world is a better place tonight without him in it.

I think we all have our conspiracy theories.  I certainly do.  I wondered about the timing (we are gearing up for the Presidential election).  I am just hoping that America (as a whole) really lives our values and morals and not just give them lip service.   I hope we are more good than bad.  I don't have the illusion we are perfect.  I hope that this isn't a political ploy.  However, it very well could be.  How jaded am I?  When I was watching the news this morning, they said that the White House was grappling with how to show such disturbing and graphic images.  I don't know if I want to see those images although there are many that do I am sure.  I thought the body dumping thing was a bit rushed too. After all, they did have 24 hours to bury the body.  How long do you think it took them?  However, I did understand that it needed to be where people wouldn't build a shrine and martyr him.  Shark food is a fitting end for him in the circle of life. I was thinking to myself ...I'd hate to be him answering for my sins this morning.  No virgins for him!  I hope the world can agree that, as a planet, we truly are better off without this man spreading hurt, pain, and fear world wide.  We should focus on what makes us the same and not what makes us different.
