Well I made it to 30. Thank you God!
The last two years have been anything but normal. I have had ups and downs, in and outs, and everything in between. Cancer kicked my butt, and then I kicked Cancers butt right back.
I thought when I turned 30 wealth was the marker of happiness and success. Turns out health is the real marker of happiness and success. I have been through a stroke, brain surgery, chemo, stem cell transplant, and countless emotions to get my health. I have learned it is harder to get health than wealth. I realize I will take health over wealth any day. I would rather live in a box under a bridge as a happy, healthy person than be sick and depressed in mansion.
I have had cancer, but at 30 I am healthier now than ever. I am no size 2 but my mind and soul are happy. My bank account is not overflowing but my mind and soul are healthy. I feel good about the honest "Cass-hole" that I am. I feel cancer has given me a wisdom far beyond my years and given more patience than I could imagine.
There is nothing I would change about my last 30 years and cheers to 30 more amazing years of living a happy, healthy life.
