Democracy

This is not the post I expected to write today. I was planning to document my decorating of Ava and Wes’ birthday cake. But it is clear that the development of events at the United States Capital need to be addressed instead.

I was watching our Senators debate on the floor of our capitol when horror ensued. I haven’t felt this way since September 11th. Watching it unfold was horrible. I have shed tears… both of fear and anger as well as joy- in response to the news out of Georgia. But I cannot get those images out of my mind.

I’m sad for my country.
