It's been a great year. Year 39 has exceeded all of my expectations even though it started out with loads of drama.
Last year at this time I was ecstatic. I had just lost a ton of weight through strict diet and exercise and was planning a fabulous 39th birthday party with my friends.
A few days before the big day I landed in the Emergency Room after passing out a few times from a pain like I had never felt before. Chills, fever, pain, nausea. Bed rest for three days, a return to the doctor and rushed in for emergency surgery. Exploding body parts and internal bleeding necessitated said body parts to be removed along with pints of blood. I was lucky to be alive the doctor said. The whole situation was a huge wake up call not to take life for granted, to live it to its fullest, and to enjoy time with my family.
Reflecting on year 39 I was able to do that and live with passion. I made sure to spend a lot of time with my kids, to expose them to new experiences, to coach them and chaperone their field trips. For my health I amped up the running and ran many races. I also tried to push myself and work hard in all other aspects of my life. All in all, it was a great year.
As I say good bye to my 30s decade I look forward to all that the fabulous 40s have to bring. There are many goals I have set for myself, I am surrounded by supportive friends, I have found a passion for running, and my kids are growing up to be confident, well-rounded individuals.
