Fat and Not Afraid

That'd be my age today.  I was born feet first with the cord around my neck.  My mom smoked during her pregnancy.  I've fallen off horses, been in car accidents, had a baby via c-section, travelled long distances by car and plane, gone walking in the rapids up to my armpits, rode my bike without a helmet, and I've gained some weight.  Which of those do you think was the most life threatening?  ;)  I'm feeling cheeky today because it's my birthday, the sun is shining, we went out to a fantastic party with friends last night and slept in together this morning.  Gitchi megweetch for this day.  I am grateful for it and every day before it, and every one to come, for my friends and family, my husband, my son, my health, my laugh lines, the grey hair starting to peek in.  It shows I'm starting to get a little wisdom.  I'm 26 and I feel like things have just begun.  They have.
