I’m 39 years young today.

It’s an odd thing getting to these ages. I remember thinking when I was younger that someone who was 39 was SO OLD. Like, fully-formed kind of old. Life is set and tiresome kind of old.

Now that I’m here, I realize just how young 39 actually is. 39 is still early in the real meaty part of life. I’m not YOUNG anymore, really, but 39 is soooo far from old. 39 is still early in the prime.

So…it’s weird. It’s weird to be here and have that kind of perspective.

I was very grateful to be able to spend this weekend and today with my family. Thank you to my parents for hosting us, thank you to Liz for coming up and arranging the most amazing gift for me from all our family and friends, and thank you to Scott and Addie for coming down to spend it with me. I’m so, so lucky and so grateful.

Thank you as well to all my friends and family who donated to the Liz and Ira **** fund! We’re going to be able to get a super nice one, I think 🙂 bleeping that out since it’s part of an as-yet unannounced project…but that’s coming soon too, I think.

Anyway…just feeling very grateful and loved.

Night all.
