I had a really hard time turning 30. A REALLY HARD TIME! I thought that 40 would be better. Apparently I am in for a year of anxiety! How is that possible? Almost 10 years have passed and I am turning 39?
I find that my first reaction is to be sad. I am faced with the reality that my life is 1/2 over. Everyday that ticks by is another day closer to not having my parents around. I have done ALOT in 10 years, been through more than the average joe but probably not as much as others. I have had 2 amazing daughters! At 29 I didn't think I could have children and was battling infertility. That in itself is a miracle. I need to be grateful and proud of all that I have accomplished. With that said, I have also decided to make a Bucket List for the last 1/2 of my life. I realize that some of these things that are listed won't happen, but a girl can dream. And how much more easier can I make birthday, anniversary, Christmas and "just because I love you" gift ideas for my husband? Eh?
