Toast to 25 years!

There has been a lot going on recently in my life and that relaxing hiatus I told you I was taking, was basically the opposite of that. But those details I will fill you in on in a later post. Today is a time for reflection. Today is my 25th birthday. And though months ago I had grand ideas and plans for this birthday since I never got to really celebrate my 21st in style and I figure being a quarter of a century old is pretty impressive, I have absolutely no plans whatsoever.

I sit here and think about how long 25 years is. In the grand scheme of things, its nothing. I look back on 25 years of living and question how much of it was really spent 'living'. I feel most of my life I have worked and worked and worked. Or gone to school. I think about how much I wasted away when I could have taken all of this time to do something amazing. But I'm not going to get hung up on that. I have time yet to do things. I'm blessed to have lived as long as I have...growing old is a privilege denied to many. I don't think about myself as getting older, in fact I never really have. I don't feel any different than I did yesterday. I haven't noticed any grey hairs popping in or more achy joints. I have noticed a bigger lust to enjoy life. I've been so busy working 2 jobs I haven't really had time to just enjoy some me time. Time to think about what makes me happy. Even though this weekend will go by in a blink of an eye I'm hoping that I get to spend it with the people I love doing things I love. Here's to the past 25 years of life and here's to the next 25 years of life!

Peace&Love
