I turned 38 in Hawaii and it was as dreamy as it sounds. I couldn’t sleep so I went for a run and saw the sunrise. Although, don’t be fooled, that part wasn’t dreamy. It was one of those “I feel like complete garbage” runs where I never found my bounce. But I had nothing better to do
I got back to the hotel around 7 and the crew was awake and the room was decorated. Amy packed bday decorations (!!!!) and Magnolia collected flowers the day before to make me a flower walkway in the room 🙌. I requested pastries for breakfast.
I threw my body around in the ocean and boogie boarded in not so epic waves BUT that didn’t stop me from being fully me and staying aggressive with my kick to edge out my wave neighbor by a foot (4th slide).
I don’t fear getting older and feel like I shouldn’t even mention aging until I’m at least 45. But even then I’m committed to staying positive about it.
There’s research on how the people who perceive aging as a positive tend to have way better health in the second half of their lives than the people who view it as negative and fall victim to it/complain about it. This won’t apply to everyone but it is something we can choose. And I think that’s pretty damn empowering. Cheers to being here!
