Hey Friends! Can I still say “Happy New Year”? I’m going to anyways since I have not had the opportunity to wish one anyways. With the holidays and the new year I have been a little quiet. Just with transition and life happening. I wasn’t really in to the holidays this year and find them fading as the years increase but I made the best of it. With the passing of this holiday I also had a birthday….the big 3-0!!
Yes I’m now in the 30 club. It’s funny because when your just doing the day to day thing and growing up 30 sounds so far away. I guess its not cause its here. A lot of thoughts came flooding my mind as I turned another year. Most of them around “am I where I want to be at this age?” I mean will I ever get to be where I am truly happy and comfortable and accepting of all the circumstances in my life? I don’t have answer for that one, but if you do let me know with a response!
So in traditional manner as many bloggers do its only appropriate that I share 30 things with you that I have learned in these 30 years. Here it goes.
- You’ve changed cause you’ve grown and you’re going to keep growing so don’t stop and don’t be afraid of it.
