My goals, in essence, are simple and long-term: to be healthy and happy. I can live that vision by being physically active in the kind of activities that bring me joy (like hiking and trotting through the regional parks around the beautiful Bay Area where I live, eating nutritious and delicious foods, managing my weight, striving for balance in my life, having a positive attitude, and by engaging my spirit in learning, creating, doing, and being the best I can. I still have a long ways to go, but I’m slowly learning to live more healthily and happily one step at a time. I have a lifetime ahead of me, and I want to make the most of it. Hopefully, I’ll meet other people just like me on this site. I’m sure we all desire to feel healthy, happy, and vibrant. We can inspire each other.
