GROWING UP

GROWING UP — not older. 📍Jackson Hole, WY
Today is my birthday! I used to dread this, but now happily celebrate it every year.

You see, several years ago, a dear friend took me to my birthday dinner where I spent the first part of the evening lamenting my lost youth. After patiently listening to my complaints, she wisely pointed out that I was in better physical, spiritual, and financial health than I was in my 20s — why should I want to go backwards??? She was right!

Instead of trying to relive past glory, I now try to plan fun new activities and goals so I have something to look forward to every year.

As I tell my patients every day: you’re not growing old, you’re growing up!
