I am nearing my third decade. In the recent past I have bemoaned this change, although I am not sure why. I don’t view others in their thirties as old, but somehow I applied “OLD” to myself at the big 3-0. Lately I have had a change of heart. My patients at work have been referring to me as young which makes me happy (our patient average age is 78!). I feel young, healthy, strong and feminine. In some ways I am becoming my third decade self, a better version of me. I am enjoying new foods, wanting new experiences and changing my normal status quo. I think for a long time I wanted to be somewhere or someone else. In high school I wanted to be anywhere BUT high school. In college I was unsure of myself. I have come to a point where I realized I am the master of myself. I decide what I want to do in life and whether or not I am fulfilled.
In the wake of all the mess going on in the US, the world and even amongst friends I am keenly aware of how wonderful my life is. I have beautiful, healthy kids. A great friend in my partner. A house. The prospect of a new career. Food to eat. Today I am thankful. Thankful that my skin is smooth, my heart beats strong and my boobs aren’t too saggy, yet. Oh, and my rockin’ haircut. Thanks Keila. Can you come to Spokane??

As always, I love reading your posts. I love the combo of you and Andy, and I couldn’t agree more that whatever your age, you are looking really, really good.
I feel the same way…anywhere but highschool, unsure, and now…feeling good.
