I am attempting to appreciate the beauty in more things. For fourteen years, it seems, I lived a life of stark austerity. Now I try to appreciate sunrises, flowers, and birdsong. I enjoy these things, even if they sometimes make me sad.

This is what we're talking about tomorrow; austerity has been our reality for decades. Don't believe them when they say "there's no money for that." They've just already given it to the wealthy. We demand tax equity and investments to save lives! https://t.co/bHWgUdIb0L
