A lovely day at beautiful Lake Tahoe...

On and around my birthday, I have realized that:

• Health is indeed wealth. And sometimes it is NOT in your hands. But a lot of it still is, so take care of yourselves.
• That includes mental health too. That is equally precious, and precarious. So take care of your minds.
• Do only the things that build and sustain you, and diss the others. I now feel the passage of time the most, as if I have already lived more than half of my life (true.. for who lives to be a hundred?) so it is time to take stock. .Some things and some people you cannot change, but you can change the way you look at and deal with them.
• Celebrate everything you have been blessed with: Family, friends, this day, this place, this life.
