What are you doing each day to stay healthy?
I’ve always been an outdoors type of person and luckily I have access to a river and several fishing spots so I have spent a lot of time outside. Aside from physical exercise that I am fortunate to get done every day, this accessibility to the river and outdoor activities allows me to stay healthy in several different aspects. Weather in Texas has been beautiful so I’ve been able to be out and about on a regular basis.

The more positive you are, the better your perspective on each day will be. I think about the future because I know it is going to be amazing and I am excited about what is going to come next.
