Another Year Wiser

Today is my birthday, pretty exciting stuff, right? I always feel like birthdays are like holidays like New Years Eve like you are supposed to be really excited at celebrating something that seems just well, goofy. Everyone has asked me what I planned for today and the truth was nothing. My Sunday was like all my Sunday a total bumming around day.

I feel like I celebrate my life every single day that I live. Every day I feel thankful and joyful for the life that I live and the journey that I have been on. All birthdays and New Year Eves provide for me is a pausing point, a time to take a moment and reflect on how my life is different then it was a year ago. I do not even feel like the same person I was last year. When I think back on my birthday last year it was a great time and I really enjoyed myself and was happy in that moment. However, I do not feel like the same girl who celebrated her 27th birthday. I often find that with every pasing birthday I just feel like I've grown so far away from the girl I was the year before.

I love this journey that I am. Life is so fascinating to me and so amazing. I feel like the world is full of corners to creep around and be surprised at what lies beyond. It seems that as month's go by I cannot even believe the position that I am and where I was just a few months ago. Right now I feel like my life is radically different then it was before my move and that my spirit is lighter and my hopes and dreams are huge and not surpressed. I can honestly say I cannot wait for next year to see who I am at my 29th birthday.
