This is it. The big day. The big four-eight.
The big ankle.
And the big adventure that nothing—nothing—is going to stop in its tracks. After all, today’s the day I fulfill a dream.
Today’s the day I stand on the Great Wall.
Woke up before sunrise. Made coffee. Snuggled up in the oversized chair next to the windows to watch the sky light up. Watched locals doing tai chi below. Opened my birthday cards from the folks. Got choked up. And realized there’s no one luckier than me at this very moment.
God blessed me, big time, and that’s the best gift of all.
