Thirtytwo

I’m 32 today.

What a year. What a life.

I hope this comes across as grateful rather than boastful, but…

Of all the stories I could possibly be living, I can’t think of one I’d rather be in than the one I’ve been given.

The people I get to be around.
The kiddos I get to raise.
The places I get to visit.
The projects I get to work on.
The things I get to fight for.

There’s a lot going on in the world and there’s no shortage of reminders that everybody is going through something, but I can’t help but think that a real deep gratitude for life and the deliberate decision to live makes it a little better for everyone.
