Happy birthday to me

I've managed to make it 49 trips around the sun (or remained stationary with 49 revolutions of the sun for Flat-Earthers 🤓). It's an interesting year, one shy of the big 5-0, but also one with symbolism in numerology, tarot, and astrology. I wrote more about that in today's celebratory newsletter. 

I also drafted 49 life lessons. Some are profound; others are practical. Some might be debatable, but others are absolutely non-negotiable, e.g., pineapple on pizza.

This is supposed to be a year of transformation, and it feels like a decade of transformation, especially in the health realm. My 40s have been characterized primarily by my health and mindset transformation after receiving a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for my 40th birthday. I guess I have one year left to solidify my health so I can start focusing on other things in the power decade of my 50s. 

My Function Health test says that my biological age is 46, so I've made some progress toward undoing the damage caused by diabetes. And based on those same lab results, I still have some metabolism and glucose issues to address. But hey, my brain is firing on all cylinders; I'm feeling pretty good and happy to be alive. Cheers to everyone!
