Me and Lucy @ Piney Lake mid-birthday hike
"What reasons has he to envy a young person? For the possibilities that a young person has, the future which is in store for him? "No, thank you," he will think. "Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past..." -Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
I love that quote. Okay, so maybe 28 is still young but I don't think most people turning 28 are as happy about it as I was. First, I feel like I've lived more in my 28 years of life than a room full of most 80 year olds combined- I'm lucky and I know it. Second, I'm all too aware that not everyone is lucky enough to make it to 28. So, yeah, I'm happy to be 28! I know it'll be another great year of awesome experiences surrounded by friends and family (what's not to be pumped about?!).
P.S. It is astounding how many people I know with birthdays +/- a week of mine! There are a crazy number of people, especially out here in Vail, with nearby birthdays.
