A picture is worth 1,000 words.

I posted this picture on Facebook this weekend. It's my pal Bethany and I, and we're actually waiting in line for a port-a-potty at a concert festival. Clearly, there is nothing glamorous about that!

But then, I got this text message from one of my closest friends: "Ok I see you almost everyday 10 months out of the year, and just passed your picture up on Facebook at first because I didn't recognize you at first. You are looking great. Very healthy and happy."

And if I could sum up the last year of my life, I think that text would fit perfectly.
