I read something a few weeks ago that said we have 3 segments in our lives divided by 30 years each. Our first 30 are our growing/child years – we learn what we need to grow and try to figure out what type of person we will be. When we turn 30, we spend 30 years in our adult years – we spend those years being the adult we’ve become and planning for a fabulous next 30 years. Those 30 years start when we turn 60, these are our Golden years – and hopefully they last much longer than 30 years (like my wonderful great grandma – you suck up those golden years lady!)
I was that person. That person who spent my whole 20's worrying about the big 30. It’s not me anymore. I've been embracing aging. And it's nice. It's a nice feeling. Not panic. Not regret. Just excitement and anticipation. I'm ready for this next chapter.
I've had a wonderful birthday weekend. Mr. S bought me roses. (Please excuse the recap with no pictures - my laptop is broken so I have no way to download them). He also gave me a really nice spa afternoon on Saturday and I got a pedicure and my hair all pretty again - It looks SO good. :) Mr. S took me to Bonefish Saturday night - so yummy!
Yesterday I slept in (for like the first time in over a month!) and then we cleaned our garage - exciting huh? - and then I opened my presents from my parents, grandma, sister, brother and sister in law, and mother in law. I have such a wonderful generous family. (we have March b-days this coming weekend at Mr. S's other side of the family).
Today I'm chilling out - not doing anything on my day off. I even took the girls to school in my pjs - they liked that.
How do you like spending your birthday?
Happy Birthday 2 days late! Way to go embracing it. I don't think I'll fret either about it. Right now I'm excited to age and grow, hopefully become a bit wiser ;) The only reason why I may fret would be if we're still trying to get pregnant 3 years from now!
