Today at 11:28 PM, while I am sleeping soundly, I will turn 31. Thirty-one.....that's nuts. I can't even comprehend that I am 9 years away from being 40, when I can remember being 17 at my senior prom like it was yesterday. Somedays I feel like I'm now in my 30s and I have nothing to show for it.
Some people have great events in their lives; books they've written, fantastic jobs, incredible inventions, a talent for singing. Me....nothing. Then I have a wonderful husband who reminds me that in my 31 years I have graduated high school, graduated college, been married for almost 8 years, have a sweet 4 year old little miracle boy, and a job that I enjoy. Shouldn't that be enough?
When you factor in the little things that have happened in my life like I attended my high school prom, I've been to Disney World, I grew up with 3 crazy sisters, my dad bought me Valentine's Day gifts until I had a husband of my own, my mom showed us that it's never too late by going back to school at 40, my husband writes love notes, my son says I love you everytime he hugs me.......I really should be grateful for everything that I have and have been a part of.
My life really is full of those incredible events that some people never get to accomplish....even if I never invent the next post it note or write the next best seller.
