While I’ve never been particularly fit, neither am I overweight. I’ve been 150 lbs since college. I was 150 during my wedding. My thermostat was set at 150, and while it swung up and down a few pounds, I’d guess it was me.

That’s when things start to go downhill.”

Cherishing the Precious Bonds of Life
Cherishing the Precious Bonds of Life In the journey of life, some people cross our paths purely by fate. These individuals become an inseparable part of our existence, adding beauty, meaning, and joy to our lives through their love, support, and companionship.
