I am 35 years old today! Oh my, I just said my age (insert shocked emoji face)! Yeah, so what!
For so many years we are in a hurry to grow up or to get to a certain age. First, it’s 10 because you’re “double digits”. Then 16, so you can drive. Next is 18, so people will know that you’re a legal adult (notice I said legal and not actual)...and the list goes on. Too often we are in such a hurry to get to the next milestone age, that we forget to enjoy all of the great things that happen along the way.
Things start changing once you hit your 30’s. People start hiding their age or lying about it all together.
STOP IT!!!
Wisdom and experience comes with age! Knowledge comes with age! Maturity comes with age!
Now, just because I’m 35 doesn’t mean that I know everything, I still have plenty to learn. I certainly know more than than I did in my 20’s. It’s time that we appreciate every year as another year of growth and change.
We have all lost people in our lives, some of them way too soon. Keep in mind that growing older is not a luxury afforded to everyone.
So yes, you might gain a little weight, your hair might go grey and you get a few more wrinkles on your face...SO WHAT! We aren’t all going to be stick skinny, your hair will naturally turn grey (and if done correctly, you too can have beautiful salt and pepper hair like my Mom) and the wrinkles mean that you have smiled a lot and are happy!
Embrace Life!
Embrace Change!
Embrace your Age!
The time is now!
