My number increased by one yesterday. While I love presents and a day to celebrate me (we had dinner at The Melting Pot...YUM!!!!), I am not real fond of this number thing. I never quite understood the "29 and holding" line....but boy do I ever now!! I'm a little past 29......and I don't consider myself old.....but 32 sounds and looks way worse than 31!!
I'm happy with my life and I have so many wonderful things in it....and I don't really care about my number.....well....that's what I keep repeating....
I think about where I was 10 years ago. I was 22....I was working full time as a floral designer...I was already dreaming up the business I would one day own. I knew kids were in the plans, but that would be a few years away. Being a writer was not something I thought about at that time. Funny how your dreams change and evolve over the years!
Now I'm in such a wonderful place in my life.....I'm so completely happy and wonder how in the world I ended up with so much perfection!!! I have a fantastic husband, two kids...I'm the happiest I've ever been about my career. We could use a bit more money, but hey, who couldn't?? LOL!
So as I look forward to this new year of my life, I can only hope it is as good as this past one was.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I've heard you should really enjoy your 30's. You're young, blessed, and beautiful! Oh, and talented! Charge forward!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! It's great to hear how happy you are with your life. Things change so much as the years passed but if we can recognize how blessed we are with the things we have, it makes it that much better.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Stephanie! I'll admit I was pretty depressed when I turned 30. I had really hoped to finish my novel by then. Instead, I was still a few months away. But, that depression came and went. Like you, I just reflected on all the ways my life was better and how close I was to my goals, even if I hadn't reached them completely. Progress. That's all we're looking for, right?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I'm enjoying my thirties too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I'll be joining the thirties in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!!!! I think the 30's are looked at differently now than they were years ago. Or maybe it's because I'm in them, they don't seem "that" old anymore! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and I pray the years only get better and better for you and your family! :O)
