Countdown

In one week I will say bye bye to my 20's. It seems surreal , I remember vividly asking my mom how old she was and she said : I am 30... now I WILL be 30. I have no problems with age but this birthday feels different. I feel a need to look back, to reevaluate, to regroup... I may sound sad, but I am not. I am just melancholic and nostalgic. 10 years ago I had many dreams and I am thankful that many of them became reality. I had no idea the prices I would have to pay to get there but I can look back and say that and I am proud of myself. I am proud the way I held my own, how I kept my integrity, the way I stayed true to myself and my values . I have many more dreams left in me: old ones that never came to be in the past decade and news ones to this new decade. Eve though I like my 30 self better than my 20 young self, I miss sometimes being that naive (I miss being many pounds lighter as well LOL), because I now have an awareness that stops me from just dreaming for the sake of dreaming, without thinking about the road that will get me there. I will lie if I tell you that I am not scared. I am both scared and excited though. I will bring with me the lessons that I learned, the memories of the good times, the friends I made, the fruit of my hard work and more importantly the ones I love specially my sweet baby girl, the one that I love the most!
Join me in this countdown to my 30's (nov 20th) as I travel down menory lane...
more to come!!!!!!!!!
