As I look back on another year, these reflections on turning 49 feel different from any milestone before. This birthday isn’t just about the “Week of Ben” celebrations, it’s about perspective. From conversations with Kailyn about life and death, to lessons on why time feels faster as we age, to the simple rules I try to live by, this is my chance to capture a snapshot of where I am today. A life lived at 110%, full of memories, friendships, and gratitude, and a reminder that every year adds wisdom, permanence, and new reasons to be thankful.

Traditions

Traditions are something I cherish and embrace. I’ve been a fan of them in my social life and have put a lot of focus on them as a parent. The value of tradition is less about the physical act, and more about them sentimental one. These traditions take time, careful thought, and lots of planning but are so worth it to me AND have a huge impact on Kailyn.
