I have never been big on celebrating birthday's, especially my own, but this one seemed different. I have had several friends turn 30 before me, and I was warned by many of them. I was told that 30 was a tough one to handle. I have even know a few people that really had a difficult time with turning 30. That is not why this one seems different tough.
Landmarks like birthdays tend to make me reflect. In this case, I have been looking back on the last year of my life. Needless to say, it has been a wild ride. As I now look to turning 30, I am not concerned about getting "old", or having grown out of my twenties. I am thankful for it.
The way I see it, I have earned this. And not easily either. This is a day that I can be proud of, if only for the fact that I will be breathing and upright, not to mention the scores of blessings I have in friends and family.
I had originally planned on a long weekend on the east coast to go surfing for my birthday. Now with all the baby stuff going on, we had to reschedule until September, but I will still be docking our boat at the lake this weekend and we will be spending plenty of time on the water.
One way or another, I will make sure that tomorrow I take the time to slow down relax and breathe, and be thankful for that.
