I am 30 . I am...no really, I am thirty? I am 30... *sigh* This mirror is a little bit hazy. Breathe in, breathe out....I am waiting for a sudden jolt of wisdom, 'coz as you know, I am 30. Dang it! Maybe I should bathe in the warm sunshine to get that...or not.
Age didn't bother me this much growing up. Although I should have seen the signs. By 18 I wasn't looking forward to birthdays. By 25, I stopped counting. Last week, a milder form of dread started brewing inside me as I realized I was turning thirty. Thirty years, here you are...temporary but irreversible. (*Quick emotional struggle with self, auto-counseling here-and-there*) So how has my life been the past 30 years? I've had highs and lows, naturally. I've had some wishes granted and some still waiting for His approval. I have made mistakes, learned from some, laughed at some, and probably haven't learned the lesson in some. I have hurt people and got hurt back, learned to apologize and accept one. I grew up! By a few inches. Waistline, almost reaching the same digits as my age and plans to stay that way GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Lines on the face...Hmmmmm I really don't like where this is heading so I'm stopping now.
My woes aren't that profound really. Weight? Waistline? Wrinkles? I just have to deal with it. Besides, I picture old age with me sitting on the terrace looking at the shore, drinking coffee with my husband, white haired and all and not 70 with a 24-inch waistline, perky breasts, and red lipstick walking around the mall in stilletoes.
So...In conclusion (for purposes of todays thoughts only haha I'm a woman, I'm supposed to be fickle!!) I might as well enjoy the ride from here on in.
I am 30! and I am in Sydney! How great is that? :) Happy 30th Birthday to me!!!
