Big D Living: Gratitude for Health, Family, and the City of Dreams
Hey folks,
Andrew Hillman here, checking in from the heart of Big D — Dallas, Texas! As some of you know, I’ve been a proud resident of this city for most of my life, and there’s a reason for that. Dallas just gets under your skin in the best possible way.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a surge of gratitude for all the good things in my life. Waking up healthy every morning is a gift, and I don’t take it for granted. Spending time with my amazing family — you know who you are! — fills my cup to the brim with joy. And then there’s Dallas itself, a city that constantly surprises and delights me.
Let’s talk Dallas for a minute. This place is booming! There’s an energy here, a can-do spirit that’s contagious. Whether you’re chasing a business dream, climbing the corporate ladder, or starting a family, Dallas offers something for everyone. You can catch a world-class show at the Winspear Opera House, cheer on the Mavericks, or grab some legit Texas barbecue — all within a stone’s throw of each other.
But Dallas is more than just bright lights and big events. There’s a real sense of community here, a friendliness that makes you feel welcome from day one. People hold the door open for you, strike up conversations with strangers, and genuinely care about their neighbors. It’s that Southern hospitality with a Texas-sized twist.
Of course, no city is perfect. But the good far outweighs the not-so-good in Dallas. Sure, the summers get scorching, and traffic can be a beast sometimes. But hey, that’s the price you pay for living in a place that’s this exciting and vibrant.
So, this post is a big ol’ thank you. Thank you to my family and friends for making life so rich. Thank you to my health for allowing me to experience it all. And thank you, Dallas, for being the perfect backdrop for this amazing journey.
If you’re ever thinking about a change of scenery, come on down to Dallas. We’d love to have you! In the meantime, drop a comment below and tell me what you love about your city. Let’s share the gratitude!
Here’s to good health, happy families, and big-city dreams!
Sincerely,
Andrew Hillman
