It's my birthday.

One year ago, I had a job I loved and was really optimistic about my future. I threw myself a great birthday party and had no foreboding of the shit storm waiting to hit me around Fall of 2008.

Two years ago, I was recently separated and had no idea what was going to happen.

Three years ago, I celebrated my birthday in Tunisia and thought I would be living there for at least a year, not the three months it turned out to be.

I guess you never know what the future is going to hold.

Maybe my pessimism today is as unfounded as the optimism of last year.

Let's hope so.
