It's finally happening. My fleeting 20's have fleeted and tomorrow I turn 30. I am not as bothered as I thought I would be. It's a milestone birthday, but I am ready to embrace it. I am more patient, more confident, and a better listener than I was at 20. I know what people say...need to be married by 30, have your first kid, buy a house, etc. But I block out the noise...we all have our own timeline and who's to say that we need to reach a certain point by a certain age? I know my life will unfold exactly how it's supposed to, on God's timing. In the spirit of self-reflection, here are three things I am grateful for as I leave one season of life and start the next: 1. Family My family does not live near me, but I am grateful for family reunions when we can connect and catch up. When we see each other, even after several years, it's as if no time as passed. Thank God for technology that allows us to connect via email and social media. 2. Friends In recent years, I've discovered who my true friends are and those who are more of acquaintences. I am grateful for my true friends who I can count on to be there even when it's not convenient. I'm grateful for my college friends who live halfway around the world but still take the time to call me just to say hello. 3. Love "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." I'm grateful for my love who makes every day brighter and supports me every step of the way. Cheers to another year wiser! |
