Fifty Three

Today is my birthday. I usually say that I don’t feel any different for completing another transit around the Sun, but this year is different in one respect. I’m both apprehensive about the future and hopeful that the world can still change for the better within my lifetime. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a lot of things into focus for me, and while some of them are not within my power to control or change directly, I’m doing my best to tackle those that I can.
