32 years old today

I’m 32 years old today.

It’s fitting that most of my body hurts today, mostly from all the workouts yesterday.

However…

I’m healthier now than at 30, 25, or 15.

I’m stronger compared to every other birthday I’ve had.

I have more blessings, friends and family than at any other time in my life.
