Ack…how did I just turn 39? In my head, I’m like 23 or something…but I have a mortgage, three kids and live in Cambodia…WHEN DID ALL THIS HAPPEN? There is nothing like making the years cruise by like having a baby. You forget about your own life and just focus on all of these milestones and doing this or that…and all of a sudden, you’ve been “Mom” for 5 years and you wonder how it happened!!!
I am thankful for a lot. Like a lot a lot. I have a good life. I have a good family. I have people who love me. We eat well. We see the world. We have love. I could really go on and on, but the point is, another year just reminds me of the things I have to be grateful for. The things I will change. The things that will stay the same.
I will keep running (I only have 85.4 miles to go to hit my 1000 mile goal in 2012) even when my mind says it’s hard.
I will keep playing even when all I want to do is lay down and take a nap. I will keep travelling even though I really hate flying, because I don’t want to live a life with regrets. I will keep being a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a worker, a boss…I will keep being me and trying to make myself better…
And straight up, that not-so-inner bitch, will still be “not so inner”…I will say what I want, speak up with things I disagree with and only bite my tongue if I truly want to!
I’m thankful for the people in my life who make my life mine…Thanks for all the birthday wishes friends and family…
