Treasuring another year older
Unwrapping each day’s living gift
Small joy beholder
Treasuring another year older
New choices- my life’s molder
Healthier, stronger, fitter- my body’s shift
Treasuring another year older
Unwrapping each day’s living gift
September is my birthday month which often leads me to set goals for the coming year. After having some health concerns last year, I am treasuring turning a year older. I have learned to be grateful for each day and look for those small joyful moments. Going forward, I want to continue to rebuild my health. I want to keep exercising- rowing, pickleball, hiking- to make me feel strong and powerful. I will meet my goal that I missed last year of participating in my 1st ever Fall regatta. I plan to keep adding more plant-based meals for dinners and trying out new foods and recipes. I know I can impact my health for the better by choosing what I eat and when I eat. I will be healthier and stronger on my next birthday.
