#100DaysofHealth

Many times this summer, I’ve had the thought that 2017 has been the best year of my life. It’s not that there’s been any significant life event (other than moving to a more peaceful neighborhood last winter). I’ll make about as much money this year as I did last; I weigh roughly what I did when the year started; I’m with the same guy; the challenges in my business have been the same, or perhaps greater, than in the prior year; there haven’t been any extraordinary events or leaps forward. If I think about it, I can even come up with the usual set of disheartening, frustrating, unfortunate occurrences and moments.

The thought that overabundance of certain resources in our culture is both a blessing and a curse isn’t an original one. In fact, the issue is so pervasive that it’s become a political weapon (“How can we say that the poor in America are poor when their biggest problem is obesity, not starvation!”)
