Today is my 39th birthday. People have said, "You're 28/29/32/33 today, right?" Nope. Thirty-nine and proud of it. For thirty-nine years, I have lived a life where I have been loved and loved others. I have lived a life where I have served my country, created friendships with people where distance is no boundary, and learned to cherish the most simple and beautiful treasures that exist all around me. I have danced in the rain. I have run on the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. I have watched and listened to the sounds of humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean from just feet away. I have seen many beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the mountains and over the sea. I have stood atop mountains gazing over the places around me and felt as if I could see the world. I have created life, carried that life within me, and delivered that life into the world three times over. I am blessed beyond measure. Even though I feel blessed, I am crabby today. I don't want to play...
My journey from the realization that I was sleepwalking through my life through where I am today--living my life and taking ownership of who I am becoming each day!
