Day 4760: Fragile

Posted on January 13, 2026 by Ann Koplow

How fragile is this country? How fragile are relationships? How fragile are people’s feelings?

Now I’m going to try my hardest to find something on YouTube that completes this post.

Because I was trying my hardest, I also found this about trying our hardest.

Thanks to all who are here for this trying-our-hardest post, including YOU!
