Today is my birthday.
I’m 41.
I don’t feel it,
Still.
THANK YOU
Thank you to the countless United States soldiers who have died while in military service to my country. Freedom is not free and you have paid a dear price for mine. I honor your memory and your sacrifice.
Thank you.

I wake up. The sun winks at me. The birds have already begun rehearsing for their concert later. It will be glorious.
the end is near
The end of the world is coming. Again.
