The dog woke up at a quarter till 5:00 this morning throwing up.
I helped him make it to the toilet--he actually stood there and puked in the toilet. I was amazed!
We are out of coffee.
I have literally NO plans for the day...
Happy Birthday to me! :-)
I remember thinking of 30 as being so "adult". I can say that it doesn't feel that way! I just feel the same. (Although the dog puking in the toilet was pretty adult thinking-if I do say so myself!)
I am not one of the people who make it to another year (like 30) and have a nervous breakdown. I have always felt, birthdays are just another way to think about how lucky I am. I get to wake up another day and continue this adventure I've been on. Even if it starts with early morning dog puke and no coffee!
Don't get me wrong, I can totally understand the sentiment of a "breakdown" we are getting older, everything has "flown by" its kind of scary.
But...
If I look back on my last 30 years and think about how incredibly fulfilling they have been I can't help but feel lucky!
In my first 30 years of living I have been blessed with a wonderful, loving, supportive family.
I have made friendships that have change and shaped my life for the better. Some friends I haven't talked to in years, but those memories have stayed with me.
I have gone to school and earned degrees I never thought I'd earn.
I have traveled the world and seen and been apart of different cultures.
I have taught 7 years worth of amazing students.
I have become a wife.
I have owned a home, and then sold that home to move into our dream home.
I became a Mom.
All of the good that has come from these years plus, lessons learned, heartbreak, failure, sadness, and stress have made me who I am.
I am so thankful for my life and hope that these next 30 years are just as wonderful. Thanks to everyone who has made it so great a long the way and, thanks life for being kind to me so far!
Send coffee my way today though!
