I AM BELLY ROLL LAUGHING AT "This question is impossible to answer, and I am a monster for asking it." 😂 You are a monster for asking and I loved that you asked anyway.

I too am working on shifting from "Why me?" to "Why not me?" One little word changes it all.

The haiku took my breath away. Thank you for sharing.

Wishing you a wonderful birthday!
