Thirty...time to be serious!

I am 30 years old.  Let’s pause for reflection.  Thirty.  THIRTY!  THIRTY!!  Who would have thought I would have gotten there?  In my new found sagedom of being 30 I must ponder the things that I am grateful for.  It feels only fitting.  I must be very serious now; after all, I am 30!

Things I am thankful for at 30:

·         God’s love

·         Liam, my beloved partner/teammate in life’s journey

·         My very bestest/sister-like BFF’s; Meghan and Lishey

·         Pugs, in general.  They make me smile and when life is insane I find a youtube video of pugs does the trick!

·         Turkey; it’s made everything healthy/yummy and helped me increase my protein.  I especially love ground turkey tacos!

·         Chocolate Soy Milk

·         Yoga; helps me ground myself and is a great way over passing a long conference call.  If only coworkers knew I was often in proud warrior in the middle of one of my longwinded comments

·         That I weigh less now then fifteen years ago

·         Crushed up Oreos (because it’s not really an Oreo if it’s crushed up and put on something)

·         Having my own office that allows me to crank and sing loudly and off-key, while running reports and/or answering e-mails

These are just some of the many things that I am thankful for.  Now in my serious decade, I plan to be far more reflective.  I plan to sit and ponder life’s great questions…

***sits thoughtfully and ponders***

Hmmm….pondering is boring!  While my birthday, as do all birthdays, cause us to reflect on the year past, make resolutions, and/or be thankful for the wonderful things in our lives growing older doesn’t mean being more serious.  Being serious doesn’t mean not being fun.  That’s what turning 30 and this journey has taught me.  One can grown, change, and improve without sacrificing fun.  Life is about fun.  The things I am grateful for most are all the little touches that make life fun!

This journey would have ended a long time ago if it wasn’t fun.  If I didn’t take joy in cooking healthier food or treating tweaking a recipe in a way to make it healthier as an adventure!  I would have given up on exercising if I didn’t find ways to liven’ up it by trying new workouts, fun ways of getting into shape, or working out with a friend. 

We’re never too old to infuse a little fun into our lives and into this journey we’re taking.
