I celebrated 32 years around the sun last weekend. I consider it to be a massive blessing considering the state of the world and how many lives have been upended either due to the pandemic, increased natural disaster or political and economic turmoil over the past year.
Surviving feels like some sort of luck that we most often take for granted.
Until death comes close to us, we tend to move through life thinking it is not inevitable, self-assured that our time here on earthside is plentiful.
