35. Being me.
I love how I live my life, I love who I’ve become, and I’m proud of all that I’ve accomplished thus far. I am acutely aware that not every body even makes it to 35 so I am incredibly grateful to be alive, period. Life is a gift that I try to celebrate as much as I can.
I guess if I take stock at this moment in time, I would note that I feel more beautiful than I have ever felt before. Happier and more at peace, as well. I really like how life has shaped me and I like how I responded to those shifts. I am in such a wonderful place in my life and I couldn't ask for more (except for my one wish). :)
But what the hell is up with people thinking 35 is old? Are you kidding? The earth is old. We are just babies, even at 100. I actually don't think of myself in terms of a number but I am proud to have made it this far at least. I think in terms of my depth and level of awareness. Like how much I've deepened over the past year and how much more I will deepen in years to come. That is my marker. That is how I determine my age. Not by numbers, but by substance.
35 feels like it’s going to be a marker year for me in every way. I think all of my hard work will soon pay off and one of my very special dreams will come true.
As for my birthday wish, there is only one thing I want this year: to meet and fall in love with my one and only. I have loved and loved deeply but I have yet to fall in love because I have yet to meet the one who is a fit on every level. No complaints though. I have been very blessed by the men in my life. It just wasn’t time and they just weren’t it.
But now I feel ready for my rainbow; kaleidoscope that I am.
Happy, happy birthday to me. May my delicious wish come true.
