Today is my birthday. I have made it to the BIG 30. Can someone please tell me when do you start feeling like a grown up because I still feel like I am 16 (and would kill to have the body I did when I was 16).
I spent some time this weekend going to my BFAM’s (brother from another mother) wedding, celebrating with friends, getting a pedicure and just enjoying the time spent with people I love. I received some great gifts, not that I expected any. Shout out to my husband for the best ammonite bracelet ever. I also thought about some of the things I want to focus on for the next year of my life. Put on your galoshes because this might get deep, not too deep, just a little, maybe like a puddle. Here goes.
1) I will embrace this hair of mine, in all its long, going grey, kinky glory.
2) I will focus more on the people/things/experiences that fill me up, rather than weigh me down.
3) I will evaluate the time suck that is technology and try to eliminate the use of it that is not really contributing to my life.
4) I will sew more, and hopefully blog about it more, because it makes me happy, very, very happy.
5) I will continue to de-clutter my home and mind from the things and thoughts that don’t make me feel good.
6) I will try to not compare myself to others so much.
7) I will kiss and hug and squeeze my dog more, because I think she feel like a 3rd wheel since Lenora entered the picture.
8) I will spend more time building up the people I love so much, myself included, rather than focusing on their weaknesses.
9) Finally, I will slow down. I am not quite sure who or what I am racing against but I am pretty sure it’s not a competition to see who can get to the end the fastest.
Whew, did you make it through all that. It feels good just to write it down. I feel like I have accomplished so much in 30 years but still have so much further to go. I guess life is really about the journey and not the destination. Now its off to the sewing machine to work on #4.
