National Pickle Day

Day 261

11/14/19

Today is a special day. It is National Pickle Day. I bet you didn't know that. Pickles are delicious, as long as they are of the dill variety. I guess there is a day for everything.

Today also happens to be my birthday. I will gladly celebrate it alongside my favorite version of the cucumber.

35 years. It feels like not that long ago I was a teenager, and a 35 year old might as well have been senior citizens. Now that I'm here, I don't feel nearly as old as I thought I would. I joked with a buddy who sent me my first birthday text of the morning that I can see the top of the hill from here, but I'm not quite over it yet.

Far from it.

After the past year, I feel like I have a new lease on life, with a new found dedication to self discipline, as well as a dedication to personal development, both physically and mentally.

I may have some tufts of gray hair in my beard, but I only have one or two on my head, and that hair hasn't started falling out yet.

I also feel like I'm just getting started, and I know that the best is yet to come. It's never too late to start becoming a better you. Don't put it off any longer.

We may or may not have a lot of National Pickle Days remaining in our futures. Let's make the most of the time we have left. Live every today like there is no tomorrow.
