flirty thirty ;)

i now have one day of life as a thirty-year-old under my belt and i must say...thirty feels good :)

i wasn't quite sure how i would feel about embarking into my third decade. would i feel "old"? emotionally distraught at the passing of my "youth"? down right depressed? i'd heard people over the last years talk about the XXX transition and it didn't sound very optimistic. most folks seemed to feel a sadness at bidding their twenties goodbye and braced themselves for the upcoming process of finally "getting their shit together". (as you can tell by the overuse of quotation marks my perspective on the subject has been extremely cliche influenced.) so i wasn't quite sure if my reaction would be the same as the stories and experiences that i was being asked to believe in.

verdict:  i'm happy to report that my initiation to the club has been full of optimism and excitement for all that is yet to come :)

i am overwhelmed by the amount of abundance and blessings that abound in my life. and so instead of feeling a sadness for the passing of the last decade i find myself feeling infinitely grateful for the lessons and experience i've been afforded and learned from in the last 29 years. i truly feel that i am in my happily ever after and that it will only get better and better from here on out!

so i've decided to flirt with thirty. i'm going to tease this next decade into falling in love with me, woo it into satisfying my heart's every desire, and court it with the promise of more joy and radiant living than it could possibly imagine. come over here, thirty. pat, pat, pat...here's a seat just for you. wink. i've got a whole lot of fun in store for you ;)
