my birthday wishes
Today is 34 for me.
It’s true what “they” say, life really does get better with age.
Seems funny that even though I get more bruised up (literally and figuratively) on a weekly basis, ultimately as I sit here now, eating breakfast as my favorite hometown diner working on final prep for our big BLR Play It Forward Weekend– I feel better than ever. The bruises on my heart and ego from life’s many roller coasters, and my legs from playing things like soccer are ones that while have been hard to take at times, I wouldn’t give up for the world.
The “marks” on the inside and outside of my body have taught me to live fearlessly, and to go after what I want with a security that if what I want doesn’t work out, something even better will be waiting for me because I am following my heart. They’ve taught me to never be afraid of loving people and telling them when I do, because life is too short and time is too precious. I think that is awesome.
The more banged up we are, the more life we have really lived. I’ll take that any day.
My birthday wishes for today/this year:
1.) For this special upcoming weekend to be every bit as amazing and powerful as I know it will be.
2.) For anyone who I interact with to always be as honest and truthful with me as I am with them.
3.) To again have as many real genuine laughs and minutes with people I love and doing things I love, that I’ve had in the past 364 days.
Here’s to bruises that lead us to people and places we never imagined were even out there, the bumps that make us tougher and smarter, and to what huge awesomeness a single year can bring.
WHOOP! Watch out 35! I am coming for you…
