On Wednesday, August 12, 2026 I did several things I’d never done before. I turned 52. I started taking calcium & vitamin D12 supplements (which are delicious). And I worked out in a gym, taking my first ever Zumba Class with Aaron. Also, I successfully touched my toes. That must seem odd, but I’ve never been able to do it before. I’ve never even come close! Small victories? Perhaps. But they all felt great and they all made me very happy. Aaron also got me some gifts – including flowers and balloons – and lots of kisses. It was a good day. I’m 52 years old. But I feel so much younger! And I know I look way younger than people did in their 50s when I was a kid, so that’s a nice bonus!
I went to bed, having some healthy snacks along the way but I only slept until 3am. I’ve been editing photos and catching up on my blog since then. I didn’t realize until just now that it’s been almost 5 hours! I also had a smoothie in that time.
I’m going to go cuddle with Aaron while there is time!
