Today I turned 37. I am not exactly sure how I feel about that–I am certainly happy to be alive. But 37 is so much closer to 40. I never use to worry about getting old. I actually welcomed each birthday and was happy to creep up in age. But last year, turning 36 really got me. I think part of it is because I am still in school working towards my dream. I feel as though I should be closer. I guess I am closer to my dream but I certainly am not where I thought I would be at this age. I thought my kids would be older and that we would be better off financially.
I know I can’t measure my success against that of anyone else, I just feel behind. I know that I have yet to live half of my life and that really the best is ahead of me. I am just not that happy about the years moving as fast as they have. I certainly know that they won’t be moving any slower.
I have had an awesome Birthday Weekend so far. I’ll post more about it on Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
Stumble it!
