Tomorrow marks my half birthday, meaning I'm halfway into my 30th year. I'm quite positive I never realized when my half birthday was until recently, when curiosity found me counting out the months on my fingers.
Anyways, halfway into 30, I've come to realize a few things...
1. I will never like my ankles. It doesn't seem to matter that I've lost 62 lbs, it looks like my ankles are here to stay. Guess you just can't win them all.
2. 30 years (and 15 years into coffee drinking), I finally have the patience and common sense to let my coffee from Dunkin Donuts cool long enough so I don't burn my tongue. This is a recent development. I seriously used to burn my tongue almost every time. So much more enjoyable when I don't! (For the record, I never have and still don't get coffee out very often- I'd like to think I would have learned this much faster if I was a regular).
3. It's no longer an option for me not to moisturize every day. I used to only do so in the dead of winter when I noticed a little dry skin. Now I even use... gasp...night cream. You know what, though? It works pretty well!
4. It will never feel natural to me to get out of bed when it's still pitch dark outside. It makes me feel tired even when I've gotten my 8 hours!
5. I really need to tell people how I feel about them, as often as I can. In the past week, I have told one of my bestest friends how she saves my day, every day, by texting me and making me feel not so alone in my role as a stay at home mom. I have emailed my Pastor, thanking him for his beautiful sermon on Sunday and how much it affected me. I need to reach out and tell people just how much they mean to me, how what they do matters so much, because it's that kind of thing that makes a difference in a person's day and mine.
I'm enjoying this year very much! Looking forward to seeing what else 30 has to teach me.
