My 30th Year

My 30th birthday has come and gone, and while I still haven't accomplished the goals that I wanted to have done by this pivotal milestone, I want to try to remain positive about my life.

While I cannot say that I've lived the most exciting life, I can say that I've been very fortunate these past 30 years. I have a wonderful family that loves me and supports me. I've been consistently employed (with a few minor breaks) since my sophomore year of college. I can pay my rent, bills, and buy food. Sure, I have some bad days, but I cannot complain.

Yes, there are so many things I sill want to accomplish and I've made some missteps along the way. I still have time to reach my goals, and I have the chance to keep learning from my mistakes because I'll have a support system to hold me up if needed. Things may not be perfect, but I couldn't be luckier.

My 29th Year

This past Monday was my 29th birthday, which means I'm one step closer to 30. Bummer. I'm not afraid of hitting the big 3-0, I'm just not where I thought I'd be once I met that milestone. I'm still not married, I still don't have kids, and I still haven't won my Oscar.

I know that I still have a ton of time to reach my goals, but everyone had a list of accomplishments they wanted to reach by the age of 30, and I just wish I had more things crossed off of mine than I do. Or any for that matter. Ah well, c'est la vie.

My Birthday

I can't believe that I'm 28. What's even crazier to think about is the fact that this year is my 10 year high school reunion. Man, I'm getting old...
