THESE DAYS...

These Days…

Survival begets belief. Survival spans not only what one outlives, but how one chooses to live on. I’ve had plenty of near misses, and I’m grateful to be alive: that’s my belief about how I try to handle news of the bad and sad that bleeds the world so often these days. No way am I going to give it an outpost in my head.  I might waver at first.  But I aim not to flinch. Help others if I can. Count my lucky stars. Wager one more day and beat the demon moving through it.
