My sisters and I have an ongoing saying that emphasizes just how great 30 can be: thirty, flirty, and thriving. After all, thirty is the new twenty-so they say. I'm all for it because I am now the big three-oh-h-h-h-h-h....my!
My mom, Granny K, got a big kick out of my big day making sure to call and rub it in real well. I actually had a great day, despite my dread of it all. I mourned the night before as the sun went down realizing that the day was setting on what was to be my last day in my twenties, but guess what? All that internal drama was in vain for the sun rose on my thirties and it was a beautiful day! (I can only admit all this now that it is over.)
It has been two weeks since I have been thirty and I am loving it! Funny thing, but I DO feel different-better somehow. I love my life and all the blessings that I enjoy. I know that good things are all around me and though life may get tough I believe that with a positive perspective life will only get better from here on out.
Thank you to all who showered me with love on my birthday. It was one of the best yet! Here's to being thirty, flirty, and thriving!
Here's to you Ess! I'm glad you're loving, and celebrating your new decade! I hope I can have the same outlook in 4 1/2 years!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Ess! I'm so sorry I missed it!!! My thirtieth year has been a challenge but I too wouldn't change all the blessings and experiences I've had in all of my 30 years for anything! I embrace 30, I welcome 30...I can no longer count my gray hairs on just one hand, I see some wrinkles popping up here and there, when I look in the mirror I still expect to see the girl I was when I got married but I find that experience and motherhood suites me...so I'll take the wrinkles and the gray hair along with the inner peace that comes with age and experience and continue onward!!! Welcome to he club!!
ReplyDeleteThirty - you must be kidding! You could easily pass for 29.
ReplyDeleteVery funny, Mom! =)
ReplyDeleteHappy 3-0!! My 30's have been better so far for me! All 2 years of it! :) Glad you had a good day, you look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. 30 is the new 20, so I've heard.. I'll let you know once I get there ;). But, I am excited to turn 30, I am looking forward to that new level of respect.. LOL. Embrace it!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you had a fabulous birthday. It deserve only the best! Cant wait to see you.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be 20 something in the resurrection, right? Meanwhile, I'm 29 forever in my imagination and my eyesight is failing so I can't see the wrinkles. Nature is just so accomodating! mom
