I'm approaching thirty years old...I have 7 days left to enjoy my twenties before I enter the next decade of my life. Can you tell that I'm having a hard time with this? The other day I was doing some reflecting, as I have found myself doing a lot lately, and I realized that maybe this next stage of my life is a GOOD change.
My twenties was filled with lots of ups and downs...college graduation, my first job, landing a job I really wanted, getting laid off and rehired twice from the said dream job, meeting a man who I thought was Prince Charming who turned out to be more of a villain, bought a house with said villain, got engaged to the villain, broke off the engagement, moved back with my parents while my mom went through her second round of breast cancer treatments, sold the house to free myself from the villain, dated and met nice guys and not-so-nice guys, moved into my own apartment and have finally have started to REALLY focus on the one thing that maybe I should have been thinking more about: myself! PHEW!
After listing all of that, I've really started to think about myself, what's going to make me happy and focusing on developing myself into the successful young, single woman in her thirties. I think back to the one single question we all answered over ten years ago as we graduated high school: where do you see yourself in ten years? My answer was typical: working as a successful elementary school teacher, and married with a family. Although part of my ten year plan hasn't exactly gone the way I had hoped, I'm learning more than ever to enjoy the journey, look around and appreciate all of the love that I do have in my life, and what is to come. The more positive I can be, the more I'll get out of this one precious life. I know it's all going to work out just the way it's supposed to. In the mean time, I'm going to spread my wings and fly, and see where this journey takes me!!
I'm so glad Dawn and I decided to write this blog...I'm thrilled to have you here to come along on this journey with me!
