What a glorious morning in Central Florida. I was at the J. Blanchard Park for my walk today. The sun was shining and it has finally warmed up. The cold front went away and it was 60 degees at 9:30 this morning.
It was a delightful and incredibly healthy walk today. I passed so many people who actually smiled big bright smiles. One man actually asked me how I was. There were a lot of endorphins pumping out there and I couldn’t be happier!
A warm bright Saturday morning in Florida brings out all kinds of people. There were teenagers riding their bikes and actually smiled at me. One lady who was very heavy was pumping her arms and jiving to her ipod. A group of twenty something girls were running together. I could hear them before I saw them. They were talking up a storm, something about their Friday night.
It made me want to hang out with them. Unfortunately, if I need to get up and exercise the next day forget about a wild Friday night. Oh, remember those days?

It is a sad day in Florida. The death of a trainer by an Orca whale occurred yesterday afternoon before some spectators and other witnesses at SeaWorld. Living in Florida, has given me the opportunity to witness the talents of these specially trained human beings and their animals. I was deeply saddened to know that the world has lost an animal lover and caretaker. The world cannot afford to lose loving people like Dawn Brancheau.
