In just 5 more years I will be....and it freaks us out a little? Perhaps, or maybe that's just me. 🤠Although at this juncture in my story, I really don't spend much time focused on my age. Not like I did when I was 30 and 40. However, it does prompt a deeper gander at where I am in my life.
Today, my oldest birthday yet, I thought I would start off doing what I love doing the most - writing, blogging and chatting with you all. As I sit here in my PJs and thick, scrunchy socks, my hair a tangled mess, the sun not yet up, I find myself reminiscing over the past year, mulling over what I could have done better, where I could have given more, been more and where I can tweak some things I'm doing now so that this coming year will be even more amazing and fulfilling.
I did spent several months this past year, simply enjoying the freedom of NO MORE COLLEGE. Graduating after five and a half long years of study, sure feels liberating! Since then, I have become increasingly more focused on my craft - setting goals and laying out strategies to achieve them. I still haven't officially launched my book, so that is on the agenda for 2016, as well as a project that I've held close to my heart for awhile now, that will incorporate my adoration of the beach with my love of writing. (That's all I dare mention right now, but I'll keep you posted as things unfold.) So exciting it gives me goosies!
Another BIGGIE this past year has been the cultivating and expansion of my state of gratitude. Appreciating people, places and things; the ups, downs and in-betweens, is undoubtedly the key that opens the door to our power and freedom. Gratitude for what we have always leads to more abundance.
Today, on this particular five year marker birthday, I have to say I'm feeling pretty darn good! I'm sure this next year will come with its own array of highs and lows, but that's the fun of the adventure, isn't it? I'm hopeful that as I continue adding miles, age will remain just a number, rather than a reminder of what little time is left.
So, here's to living for today - this moment - with no regrets, no complaints, just a deep sense of appreciation for the gift of being here.
Thank you for your sweet birthday wishes!
I love you all so much! 💕
