Happy Birthday to Me

I'm fifty-six years old today and I feel awesome.

Three years ago on my birthday, I was pushing three hundred thirty pounds and grossly unhealthy in body and spirit. My life had spiraled out of control and there was a common thread of hopelessness running through virtually every aspect of my life. Enter a leap of faith; a skilled surgeon; an ever faithful and supportive wife; and a second chance! No longer is my life behind me. Today, life’s right here right now and laid out before me.

I ran 9.7 miles last night. The night before I played drums with my band. Each night I get to lie beside the love of my life. Life is good; very, very good.

Happy birthday to me!

I’m a lucky guy!
