You don't look a day older than 25...and that's because I'm not. Ha, I know, wishful thinking. Yesterday marked my 11,315th day on this earth. Math skills a little shabby?? That's 31 years folk. So as I reflected on the year that has passed since the last milestone was hit I instantly thought about all the trails and tribulations the year brought. And then I forced myself to reframe my thinking and dwell on the positive things that have occurred and the lessons learned from the more trying times. And as I opened my eyes on that beautiful Saturday morning and took in all the blessings that have been placed before me all I could do was smile. I spent the day surrounded by family and great friends. I was reminded of how by just being yourself you can sometimes touch the lives of others without even realizing it. We place so much value on material things when sometimes a simple hug goes a long way. A friend of mine wrote to me "Happy birthday beautiful! You have taken some great steps toward loving you so may God continue to bless this personal journey that you are on to peace, happiness, and love." And that is so reflective of exactly what I found in my 30th year. I discovered the ability to love myself unconditionally. Figured out that it is ok to put myself first and take care of my needs without feeling guilty about it. And in doing so not neglecting the needs of others just not making them a priority in my life. And so my journey to peace, happiness, and love continues.
525,600 minutes how do you measure a year in life? No matter how you count it up make the most of each moment. Here's to the best 525,600 minutes of my life as I embark on yet another year. I can't wait to see whats in store.
