But today I felt the need to share something special with you all. Last night, on the eve of my birthday, I drove up to Shingle Springs to see my parents for a nice, quiet family dinner that my mom cooked for me. They presented me with a birthday card as they always do but this particular card was very special.
It read:
This morning I started off my day right by waking up at 3:50 AM and hitting the gym at 4:30 for a 2 hour workout. I got to work by 6:30 and I'm having a great morning so far. I feel incredibly lucky and fortunate for all the wonderful blessings in my life, and I am grateful for being given another day, another chance at making a beautiful life. If you're reading this, thank you for being in my life and for making my life more beautiful.
