Dear readers,
Today is my birthday.
I’m 30.
I’ve had some trepidation. Misgivings. Confusion. Expectations! Mortality! It was all too much.
But, in the nick of time I have had some meaty realizations and hearty epiphanies. (Being at the beach for two days helped). So I’m feeling good about it now.
Realizing life is short is a good thing. It promotes focus.
A brand new decade! I feel some resolutions coming on.
In my thirties I will…
- spend less time at home alone, and more time out with people I love doing things I love
- judge my beauty and health by how I feel inside rather than how I look
- let go of expectations of others and give myself what I need and want instead
- consistently seek spiritual connection that keeps me grounded and my heart open
- read more and kvetch less
- give my body movement, play, stretching, and other things it wants
- release the past and forgive
- appreciate every day rather than constantly waiting and planning for better futures
- be willing to spend money on things that make me happy, like staying in nice places at the beach or really comfortable chairs
- hand the ultimate path of my life and its purpose over to whatever forces move such things, and focus instead on doing good, being kind, and having fun
Love,
Emma
