Quite a few months ago I wrote about 30 things I wanted to do before I turned 30 years old. You can find that post here. Well, I wasn't 100% successful. Had I given myself more time than the 4 months when I first had the thought, I probably would have completed them all.
But this post isn't about how I 'failed' my 30 Before Thirty list. This is about my 30th birthday!
I woke up and it immediately felt right that it was my 30th birthday. In the months leading up this milestone day, I was fearful and dreading the big 3-0. Most times I felt that I hadn't accomplished everything in life that I wanted to do by the time I was 30. I was putting so much pressure on completing certain tasks in my life that I wasn't focusing on life and embracing my life for what it is now.
My birthday fell on a Saturday. On the weekends, I do not sleep in. And if I do, I am generally awake by 6:30 or so. I usually get up and go to the living room and either watch tv, surf the web, or listen to my iPod until Greg wakes up. But on this particular day, he got up woke up and got out of bed shortly after me (before 7am). He went out and brought back some McD's for breakfast. We haven't had a fast-food breakfast in a loooooong time! We ate breakfast and then I got my gifts.
I spent the afternoon spending an obnoxious amount of time getting ready for the day. I did my hair and makeup and made sure I looked as good as I felt. We went out to dinner and got some sushi. I have been craving sushi really bad for a while, so it was the perfect birthday dinner! After dinner we went to the casino for a few hours. After we got home, we had dessert. Greg made a cheesecake for my birthday dessert. Had some wine. And just about passed out soon after.
I declared "Feeling Good" as my theme song for the first year in my 30s.
It's a new dawn. It's a new day. It's a new life, for me. And I'm feeling good.
