Your morning forcast, for mornings to come.

You wake up in the morning and you set off on your daily routine. You think about things that are so little compared at the possibilities that lie ahead. Maybe, just maybe, you wake up, you get a cup of coffee, you read the newspaper, and then you turn the television on to see what the weather's going to be like. What if you decide to do something different for a change? Something little like reading the newspaper before you get a cup of coffee. There's already six different things that can occur after you wake up.

Now, this is just you. This is you at home within a thirty minute time span. Your elected leaders, meanwhile, are running the country. Your president is a Human Being, just like you and me, yet he's assigned to protect millions of people from global threats. What's the biggest global threat you ask? I'd say the biggest is North Korea.

North Korea is like three year old with an temper. Poke him with a stick and if he has gun in his hand, you're dead. Unfortunately for the world, little Korea has a gun in their hand. This gun can end your entire being as you know it. No, not your soul, but your body. This life can end at any minute, whether it be natural causes, accidents, or by Nuclear warfare.

So when you wake up tomorrow morning, you check the news. See if all is well in the world. If it is, you can get your cup of coffee. Once you star easing into this on-edge of a life, maybe you can get your cup of coffee first, then turn the television on.

Just think of how lucky you are to be able to continue your morning rituals.
