Today, I enter into another decade. I'm not so sure yet why every birthday that ends in zero after your 20's is cause for bigger celebration. I mean my grandpa turned 90 a couple weeks ago, cause for celebration...you bet! Life becomes an everyday celebration and chance to live to your fullest as you get older. My first day as 40, well I'm not so sure it's quite the same accomplishment.
Do I feel older? Well, that's a matter of perspective. I feel healthier, stronger, and fitter than I did in my 20's and at least half my 30's thanks to a change in lifestyle. Yet, after spending all day in a vehicle, it may be a couple of days until I'm going to want to sit again. To avoid what is similar to bleacher butt, I'm as wiggly as a toddler.
I will tell you this I'm determined to make things happen and to stop waiting for my life to go in the direction I want it to go. My future has expanded beyond the short term. The gifts God had given me in the forms of family, friends, health, wellness, joy, the everyday are not things I want to take for granted. I don't want to sit by missing the moments that make life living.
