I was having mixed emotions about turning 35
It's such a different age and stage in my life... There has been times in my lives that bdays were not that meaningful but with the passing of the years each one have had a specific meaning to me. A different milestone happens, reaching a new level of personal growth and a new fresh opportunity to reach a higher level of self-actualization.
I am more than thankful to God for giving me the amazing opportunity of reaching amaZing things in my life. From traveling, serving, meeting amazing people that have touched my heart... Others breaking my heart but leaving me with a lesson that has made me stronger.
But this year was different, I started to worry about my age a little (I know silly) but only because I really don't feel my age... I feel REJUVENATED, FULL of LIFE yet, my age is going "Down hill" --if ya know what I mean-- lol
It was also a bittersweet moment been the first year without the kiddos for a complete holiday.
And looking back at this amazing bday weekend. visiting friends that are like family to me. Feeling their warmth and closeness, knowing how much they care about me and my family. Made me realized that there was no reason for me to be "fussing" within me about age. I look back at these amazing years...
Where I have been completely broken, yet restored by God. I have been weary but yet was able to gain new STRENGTH. I... Have ... Been .. CHALLENGED this year including w/ health and life routines changes, yet God always makes a way to pour His favor onto me and making it work for the purpose He has for me. And most importantly all these years have brought me the opportunity to BUILD and CULTIVATE Amazing RELATIONSHIPS.
No time has been wasted really and every single person that is part of my life have invested in me in a Non-selfish way! You ALL have change me and my heart! 💕💕
And so I receive my new age, and this new stage of my life...
In between Coffee dates, having the hospitality in staying at different friend's houses, sharing Holidays with their families, sharing new moments with friends that start a new stage, celebrating weddings and the joy from them transferred into me from the purchase of a home. Being a part of their new happenings of their lives, catching up, dancing, hugs and tons of hugs, hangs out... O...M..G... And Wine how can I forget the wine shared together... Lots and lots! 👌🍷 haha..
And To an Amazing big Family I have in Florida that is there for me and my kids and loves us unconditionally! That with their presence in the kiddos' life and mine have STRETCHED me to become a BETTER person and family member!
What can I say....
I'm one blessed gal!
This trip reminded me that looking back... time has not Been WASTED!
and I am so happy about that and I am very excited and thankful of all the new memories that I will continue to build every single time The Lord allows me to open my eyes each morning!
Soooo there you have it....With a grateful and bouncy Heart, I raise my glass.... 🍷🍷
