The Year That I Will Turn 30!
There are going to be a lot of changes in my life for 2008. I am not making goals; I am making changes. I am going to stop using retail therapy, I pay enough for my real therapy, I don't need to go shopping. I am going to learn to say No, Nope, I won't, I have no time; it is OK to say no. I am going to run a marathon in November.
I really didn't think I'd care at all about turning 30 years old. Granted, it's still almost five months away, but I'm already thinking about it. I guess the no-denying-it realization that I had no idea that this is where I'd be at 30. I'm sure I thought I'd be married, probably have a master's degree, maybe a kid (i really don't remember anymore whether I ever wanted them or not), definitely not living in Fresno at my grandmother's house.
So it's really about a lot of things. I am happier where I am now than where I was five years ago. I am actively working at making myself happier, healthier, and more sane.
This year is going to be different.
Now, that phrase can be said many ways. I am not saying it in that hoping and praying that this year is magically better than last year. I mean that I am going to make this year different.
At the least I probably won't get hit by a car and have my jaw wired shut again, right?
