I am 35 today.





I rolled out of bed at 5:30AM today, my 35th birthday, looked in the bathroom mirror and actually found myself saying out loud, "Eh, not bad." 

There are certainly worse things in the world than not looking your best, but in the grand scheme of things it's a really good feeling to be happy with who you are- at any age.  Looking at my reflection this morning it wasn't even just about how I looked. Sure I've got an athletic figure, nice clear skin for the most part, and I've been having some pretty great hair days lately. But also I think about all the things I've accomplished in the past year, the steps I've taken towards being the grown up I've always wanted to be and I have to nod my head and say, "Not bad. In fact, pretty damn great."
