The first 1/3'd

I figure if everything goes as planned, I am about 1/3 the way through my life. Crazy to think about! Yes, I am 30 today. It feels good! It suits me... I feel like my age is getting closer to matching up with my life experience! :) I feel like I have learned and been through enough in the last 30 years to last a lifetime!

Now I am starting to wonder what is in store for me and the next 2/3'ds of my life! I hope lots of love, happiness and moments to bury my toes in the sand on a beach somewhere!

I was thinking today about some of the really significant things I have learned over the last 30 years.

1. - There is beauty in EVERYONE! I wouldn't say I didn't know this before... but it has become so much more clear over the last few years. I no longer think there is a specific mold for what is beautiful!

2. - As I age, I am caring less and less about what others think about me. Don't get me wrong, acceptance is a wonderful thing and I love feeling like others "like" me. But, at the end of the day... it is getting easier for me to realize that I can't please everyone and it really isn't my job to do that anyway.

3. - Life is only going to give back to me what I give to it! That goes with relationships as well.

and the most important things I've learned and continue to learn is that I am becoming more comfortable with myself. I am more confident in sharing my opinions and knowledge, and I am more at peace with the path my life is on. (that may sound weird because of how stressful my life is right now) But, what I am trying to say is... I know this is the life I am meant to be living! I am at the right place at the right time!!! and I am only more excited for the future that is in store for me.

For my birthday I ask that you visit the site of my friend Kecia from Utah. She is adopting this beaufitul girl Kareen through Reese's Rainbow. Kareen lives in an orphanage in Europe and she has Down Syndrome. I look forward to meeting this little angel next time I am in Utah!
