Today I am 30. It's been the best birthday ever. Snow has fallen gently all day; my family gathered to sing and laugh and eat; my mailbox and e-mail has been full with well wishes and thoughtful love; and my sweet two year old made me a card. No Mama could be prouder.Leaving my twenties behind doesn't bother me one jot. In fact, I've got great expectations for this upcoming year. I plan on-
- Taking a cooking class with a creative and foodie-minded friend.
- Giving up make-up (save a little mascara and occasional concealer)... I don't really need it anyway!
- Walking more confidently in who I am and acknowledging how I tick.
- To start a dedicated time of learning more fully God's love and provision of me.
- Make enduring changes to our home.
- Thrilled to continue in this quiet, slow, sweet life I've been blessed to live.
So... Hello 3-0. Welcome.
Happy birthday! Welcome to *30*!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It feels good to have arrived.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday and welcome to the club! The thirties have been some of my most blessed years yet...i have a feeling it will be the same for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! I'll remember this when I have those rough days that always come, no matter what age!
DeleteHappy belated birthday!! I was a little apprehensive to turn 30, but it did not last long. Almost 32 now :). I think your plans sound great. I do not wear any make-up. I do not even own any...not even concealer. One day Liberty and I were in the bathroom and she told me I should wear some make-up so I could be pretty, and was naming things like lipstick and blush, etc. Had a nice conversation with her about how beauty comes from the inside and God's creation being beautiful, etc.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I love how you are so sensitive and take the time to explain to your kiddos values in their language, when they are ready. Well done.
