30 years later...

I woke up today 30 years old. Or one day older from yesterday. Really not a big deal to me. But I have to admit that when it comes out of the mouth, thirty years old, it makes you feel like an adult. When I was in my twenties, so long ago, I felt like I was still being judged as a teenager. I know I look young but I felt like a kid living in a body of a 29 yr old Mom. At 30 I feel like I matter now. I don't know what it is but 30 feels like I have entered adulthood finally. I can no longer be looked at as a child. My twenties are now behind me. In your twenties you finish up schooling (at least some of it), maybe get married, maybe have a kid (or two or three), establish your career, and basically start your life. I feel like my thirties will be about growing as an individual and enjoying my family more. In my thirties I will have more self confidence and self awareness. In my thirties I will hopefully learn how to not over extend myself too often. In my thirties my kids will eventually all be in school! And finally in my thirties I will have to turn 40! I really look forward to that one:)
