“I’m looking up at the beautiful expanse of blue sky above me as I walk, and I’m thinking how amazing it is that it’s exactly the same sky that I played under when I was a little girl. The same sky that I gazed up at to watch clouds drift by on a summer day. The same sky that blazed with sunshine on my wedding day. The same sky that sent down a gentle dusting of snowflakes on the day that my daughter was born. The same sky that’s been above me for as long as I’ve existed on earth. And for infinite years before me. The same sky that dinosaurs and Neanderthals roamed beneath.
Will that same sky be there for future generations to appreciate? I can only pray.
As long as men like Kim Jong Ugh, Vladimir PU-tin, Donald Grump, et al., exist—
men who delight in their power to make things go boom—who knows?
For now, I am looking up at that blue, blue sky, and I’m so happy that it’s still there.”

I love that realization and it makes me realize why, as a child, it was always the sky that housed God in my mind. I too hope it is here for posterity and hope the power hungry, self-centered rulers don’t make any life altering, rash decisions!

Donald Grump I like, though I slightly prefer Donald Grinch! You’ll still be able to see the blue sky in the future. You will just have to fly up to 30,000 feet to see it!
