The last couple of days have been rough around the edges. From Sunday until now it’s been just one big swirl of life. Down at the darkest bottom pit. Then slowly picking myself up by Thursday.
So I won’t go into details about the beginning of the week…. But today was pretty awesome. June is pride month across the Dept of Defense and all military branches. So there was a celebration of sort at the Pentagon. I was excited to go. Bunch of gay folks…like d’uh!!! Talk about party city….well it wasn’t. There were more men than women. Then the panel were families. Which I didn’t get to enjoy cause I’m not part of a military family, nor do I have kids. But the meaning and purpose is what made it so great. I’ve been out the army for some years now and never 1. Did I think I’d be in the pentagon…2. That the military would celebrate gay families/members….3. That I would be at dc’s pride festivities!! Well all three are true. We celebrated the turn of ages. I got meet Kristin Beck. Yes the woman who I wrote about some time ago. Her book….warrior princess made me want to be a bad ass navy seal, but we all know id ring that damn bell with the first thought of having to run.
But it’s okay.
