Rambling: Thankful For Today

Isn’t it a beautiful day today? I am thankful for today and loving the vibes January 11th is offering to me . You can say I am excited for today because yesterday wasn’t as bright and beautiful for me. I wasn’t feeling up to it. Everything seemed rather dull and gray.

It was a bitter sweet experience for me, as I raised my right hand and repeated after the officer “I hereby declare,…
