Good Morning! It´s a beautiful morning and I am glad I can enjoy it! About 18 years ago, I had my second heart attack - the big one, which nearly did it. On the rocky road to recovery, my doc told me then, that it was highly unlikely for me to see 60 candles on my birthday cake. He was wrong! Today´s my 60th birthday. I should be happy, but I am not. For once, I know I live of borrowed time. Furthermore, the life Petra and I have is a life under the constant threat that we may not only lose the little we have. The overall situation is getting tighter day by day. We should have left this country a long time ago, but we don´t have the means to do that. I try not to let that put me down, but I don´t always succeed. There won´t be a birthday party today, nor on the weekend. My son and his GF are on a vacation trip and the few remaining friends are also not available. We will enjoy a  nice dinner, as Petra will be preparing my favorite food. And, of course, a slice of my birthday cake - without candles!
