Then what seemed like ALL OF A SUDDEN it was here! I was going to be 30 years old. Wait!!! What?!?! How in the world was I going to be 30? I still felt like I was 20! Well maybe not 20 but at least not a day over 23.
I am not a typical 30 year old. I have lived my life on kind of a fast forward, so to say. I got married at 17, bought a home at 24, had 5 kids by 27, started traveling the country at 27&1/2, bought an RV and continued my travels at 29. I live like a retiree just with 5 kids.
Either way the calendar was not lying to me. I was indeed going to be 30 years old. What would change? Would I change? Would I wake up with a full head of grey hair?
It has been one month since my birthday. I am now 30 years and 1 month old.
What changed?..... Nothing that was obvious. I did have a grey hair but it was the same one I saw a week earlier when I was still 29. The change that I did notice was something that has been happening gradually over time. I know what kind of person I want to be. I know what I want from life. I know what is most important to me. Most importantly I don't care what other people, think about or say about me.
I am not necessarily there yet but knowing what and where I want to be, with out the care of what others think is the best thing about being 30. I can live my life with out having to feel like I need to please others.
*I sill feel like I am in my early 20's until I hang out with people in their early 20's and then I thank God that I am not in my early 20's!*
30 years old is the best age. I have a body that is still young but the wisdom of a life lived.
Until next time. I love you C,M,B,C,E and L.
For my birthday we headed to Dallas, TX. We went to the water park and Six Flags. What better way to celebrate this milestone than to have mini adrenaline rushes with people I love. *SMILES*
Doing what I love to do, not caring what y'll think!!
