Today, I am a year deeper into this thirtiesgirl life....and of course, being me, I'm in serious reflection. I don't feel any different of course...but I do realize I am tipping the scale closer to the big 4-0 and further from my 20s. I'm cool with that. Really. Especially since every other day I hear about some youngun' losing their life via sickness, accident...a bullet or four. I am grateful to be 36. I would never lie about my age, although a lot of folks tell me I dont look as old as I am. That's relative. I will say I still struggle with "the moments". My mother is always telling me to mind my moments cause they make up my life....her way of saying "RELAX!!!" lol
I admit, I am anal. Period. And in this new year of life, I am not going to apologize for it anymore. I am an idealist and I think things should be a certain way. In my 36th year, I will not apologize for it. I am high strung (due to being anal and an idealist). I accept this fact and will not apologize for it. I am an analyzer. I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR IT.
With that being said, I want to be around for as long as it takes to fulfill plan and purpose i.e. I ain't going out via no heart attack due to stress. I relish getting OLDER but I don't want to get old, once again, due to stress. So in this 36th year of my life, I am committed to looking more at the lighter side of life, not taking myself (or anyone else) too seriously, doing those things that bring a smile to my face (and others), surrounding myself with people who feed my life, not drain it.....and I commit to giving and RECEIVING the deepest kind of love possible from every source that comes across my path. I am committed to NOT worry about my future and who will be in it...big people or little people.
I am a thirtiesgirl....and life is too short for the BS....and that's just keeping it real. I feel a change coming....and at 36, I'm all for change. Stay tuned....it's about to get interesting....:-).
