Well, we all do it (you know... age). It's not like we can avoid getting older. When you are young, you can't wait to be older. When you are old, you wish you had loved being young more.
And then there are those middle years that don't really get much attention cause you are so busy living life that they fly by. Well that's where I feel like I am right now: in the middle part. But the good news is, it's awesome! Lately I have been feeling very content with being in my thirties. I look back on growing up with fondness. You know, the three or four memories I can actually recall from that time. I look back on my young adulthood with a smile. For the most part I lived the dream. I look ahead to my life with an optimistic view of the adventures to come.
And when I think of where my life is right now, I feel good. There are ups and downs and overflowing blessings and bitter disappointments. All of that. The thing is, I am in a place right now where that's ok. So aging is alright with me. For now.
I'll let you know how it goes.

I've decided the older I get the faster time moves by. I am beginning to see how at the end you think it has all gone by so fast. And the thirties are fun. I felt I had credibility by then. I liked the thirties.
Oooo, I want credibility. How do I get that? And when can I have a mid-life crisis? If I am only planning to live until I am 50, did I miss my chance at 25?
Abby, this was very cute! You're aging very well :)
I liked being 31. For some reason 35 is bugging me:) I need to change my 'tude!!
(I think I liked 31 because I was less tired then....it is amazing what 4 more years and 2 more kids has taken out of me:)
Lovely thoughts. I hope I still feel that way when I am pushing 90. But when I think about pushing 90, I feel pretty young in my thirties. You are right, thirties are good.
