It was only two days until August when I realized that I had not begun the creation of my monthly birthday card.

Maybe that’s why I awoke at a ridiculously early hour. Or perhaps it was envisioning a mom and two kids navigating the chaotic highway system of Houston. Or the spectre of mandatory masking returning to our lives.

But enough about me, what about you – have you figured out a strategy for staying reasonably sane in these unprecedented, challenging, mentally draining times.

Thank goodness that no planning is necessary for today: it’s okay to simply let loose and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Peace, Bob
