Good evening all (well...there aren't so many of you these days). Tonight is my birthday eve. After today I will no longer be a crazy 20 something, I will be a wise, mature 30 year old. That's the way it goes anyway, right?!?!
I am not sure why 30 is such a huge milestone, it's not like a baby turning 1 or a great, great Grandma turning 100! It's just 30. I don't feel any different and I am definitely not sad to be leaving my 20's behind in a cloud of dust. The 20's were fun and wow, the accomplishments, but now I am looking on to the great things to come in my 30's. God has blessed me so much in these first 30 years, I am so very thankful and ready to see what he has in store for me in these next 30! I hope to have a few less regrets in these years to come, but I guess most people do make their most bone-headed choices in the first 30 years of their lives (I said MOST). And hopefully in the next 30 I can learn to forgive myself for those bad choices and stop the torment of regret. I don't have the time or energy for regret and if God can forgive me for those bad decisions, then I too should, right? I will work on that in my next 30 years and I will try to make good choices in an effort to keep the regret list short!
As for now, it's off to a shower and bed, yep it's 8:59pm and I am tired...you know, tomorrow I will be 30! I think that warrants a little earlier bedtime, huh?!?
God bless the few of you still following me. Good night!
You always bring such great perspective on the life God has given you. Here's to hoping that the next 30 years are filled with many blessings of faith and love, lots of laughter, and many memories with family and friends.
