Another year older, another year better!!!

I celebrated my birthday on November 3rd (which thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday) it was a great day. For the last few years birthday's have had a bitter sweet feeling, I love the feeling on birthdays where you get lots of love from everywhere (and gifts of course) but also with becoming older it's a really scary feeling. I don't even want to believe how old I really am (I am going to pretend I am 26 forever) but the true is is that I just turned 29 (OUCH). It hurts to say it out loud and I think it has to do with this overwhelming pressure and desire to be SOMEBODY and to be successful. With 30 being right around the corner, I feel like I have not accomplished enough, that I am not successful enough. But what does that really mean anyways????

Where I am going with this is that maybe I need to take the pressure off myself a bit. Things are not the same as they use to be where life was all about getting married and having babies young and calling that success. Success can be whatever you want it to be and in fact I think I have had a lot of success recently.

As I talked about in this very personal and proud post here, I recently changed my eating habits and have tried to exercise more and I could not be happier and more proud of myself and how far I have come. I might be the oldest I have been been but I also think I feel and look the best I ever have...and that is something to be proud of. That is success right there, I never thought I would get here and I did and if I can do this, what else can I do!?!?!

So instead of worrying about 30 and how far I haven't come, I'm going to try and stay positive, enjoy and soak in this amazing feeling I have lately and how good I feel about myself right now and how far I have come. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that feeling and I want everyone to feel that way about themselves. We can't change yesterday, we don't know what tomorrow will bring but we can live in the moment and be happy and make others happy. Let's love each other and most importantly ourselves!!!
