The gift of turning 17

Night time swimming in Orlando
August 11th. Earlier in the day we walked to Bryant University in Rhode Island.

 

Turning 17 today is a huge honor.

Most 17 year-olds (especially me in 1976) have no idea what a gift it is to see your 17th birthday.

At 17, much of what we have in our life is assumed.

A roof over our heads, free school, paved roads, plenty of drinkable water, access to medical treatment whenever necessary.

Can you imagine living in a part of the world where all this would feel like Heaven?
