- I awaken every morning with fear in my heart that overnight world circumstances have inched us all to the point of no return and the onset of Armaggedon
- The optimism I once felt about life and living has largely evaporated.
- Will I ever be able to surmount the deepening depression burning within?
- I wonder every day if the aches and pains within my body are simply markers of aging or whether they herald the onset of something more sinister.
