Today I weathered a Zero Day.
An undiscovered hack, of sorts—not a PC hijack, just mind over matter.
These old pandemic blues: it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter.
I hesitated: coldest day of the winter yet: zero.
Zero degrees.
But I went. It was frigid, painful even, despite our care to keep frostbite at bay. But we reached the summit.
Sometimes the majesty comes only in the wake of grueling slog. Patience, perseverance: and oh, what a glorious view.
For all of that, I am grateful today.
