Birthdays and Health

  Today I turn 42 and I can truly say I feel younger (much healthier – thanks to some discipline) then I did at 32. However in speaking with my 7 year old son, he had a rather interesting perspective.  He said, “Daddy you are almost 100.”  I of course corrected him and indicated that I was a long way from that milestone.  He thought for a moment and then replied, “You are not close to 1.”  It was cute and certainly very profound – I am probably half way through life.  This is a great time to look back and reflect on my life. I have been truly blessed and have accomplished many things, but believe I have much more life to live.  As Abraham Lincoln once said, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.  It’s the life in your years.”

A very happy belated birthday Scott! I am a bit behind in my blog reading...forgive me. Congrats on your great strides in your nutrition/health program. And, yes, nothing like a kid's perspective to remind you who (where) you really are. :-)
