There's a lot to be grateful for. There's a lot of stupid shit I've done. Either way, time doesn't seem to care. Today I turned 40.
Nice wins include
staying together with the same person since 9/9/99.
a PhD in chemistry
3 kids
world travels
A fair amount of financial security
Steem
PAL
Splinterlands and Steem-Engine
A small circle of amazing people in my life
Big losses include
deceased friends and family
missed connections with friends
a business failure (10 years ago)
long term exposure to ethanol
I've found that integrating new information regarding how I believe the world actually works has changed my perception of how to make this place better and has simultaneously created distance between me and friends and family who don't share the same belief/understanding. That part has been tumultuous.
I have certainly lead an interesting life. Now to reflect on that and see how to improve on it.

Happy birthday man!
Wish you all the best and may the future wins be 10x of what they are now.
Congratulations!
Regarding the world view thing, I can say the same. Embracing the decentralization movement has practically cost me one 30 year friendship. But what can you do if your views change and those of others do not.

What? I'm older than aggroed? This is so weird, when you begin knowing more people younger than you than older than you.
Happy birthday! Nice list of accomplishment!
Happy birthday to you
Don't you just frickin' hate it when you wake up in the morning feeling fine and you realize that life has pinned another decade on your sorry ass?
Or, alternatively, don't you just love it when you wake up in the morning and realize that you've lived at least one decade longer than you anticipated?
Happy Birthday Mr. Aggroed. May you have many more.
Happy Birthday Aggy, cheers to many more years!
happy bday aggy. wishing you a fun day with lots of kisses and noms..
