Things to do before your 30th
Posted by: | CommentsA post about 30 Books Everyone Should Read Before Their 30th Birthday made me wonder if there were many “things you should do before you’re 30″ lists. After some googleage I found a few interesting lists but for the most part they are too generic for me. Then, I remember that I’ve always wanted to do the 101 Things in 1001 Days thing. I’ve wanted to do this since I saw it on Zandria’s site (May of 2007 to be exact). So, from here the little hamster wheel in my brain started running and I wanted to figure out how to make my 101 days end at my 30th birthday – I know I’m so clever aren’t I?
So many things to do and so little time. Ok, not LITTLE time. I mean eight years….What is something you wish you had done before turning 30?
I am so happy.
Posted by: | CommentsTonight I covered my son up with a pink blanket. I remember buying it in highschool to decorate my room. I am sure I never imagined that one day that blanket would cover my pregnant belly. I am sure I never imagined I would one day use it to cover my child.
I had this life in my head all planned out and ready to be lived. I was going to be rich and beautiful and married. Where would I work? It didn’t matter. Who would I marry? Irrelevant. I wanted to be glamourous and famous. I wanted people to know who I was and know that I mattered.
I am so much more content with my life now than I was in those dreams. I am so happy I get to cover my child with my blanket. I am so happy to remember that time and know this time. I am so happy I have watched my life transform. I am so happy to have felt the transformation.
I am so happy.
