27 Laps Around the Sun
Today is my 27th birthday. I was reflecting this morning in my journal on what I thought 27 would be like. When we are young 27 seems so old and so wise. Yet, as I sit here at my kitchen table attempting to get caught up on big girl things like budgeting, cleaning, and organizing I feel like I have no idea what I am doing.
Maybe that's what life is though. Learning little lessons along the way and just taking it one day at a time, one year at a time. I know that I am learning so much about myself and who I want to be in this world. Even in one year I have grown so much as a person. For the little lessons I have learned I am so incredibly grateful.
I can't help but practice gratitude on this sunny morning. I am so grateful for the opportunity to live this life another year. I am grateful for friends who have been showering me with birthday wishes already this morning. I am grateful for a chance to celebrate with the people I love tonight. I am grateful to be redeemed by my loving and forgiving savior, daily. I am such a lucky girl.
This year will be a wonderful year. I can feel it. Dreams and goals are flowing through my planner. Passions are igniting my creativity. Friend dates are being planned. Yoga classes will be attended. Even more lessons will be learned. Journaling and devotionals will change me every day. Healthy me is a priority. Financial goals are being met. And most importantly life is being filled with wonder, being brave, and adventure.
Now I'm off to spend a day doing the things I love with the people I love and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Happy Birthday to Me!
