366 days......

Tomorrow is my birthday, but all I keep thinking about is in 366 days I am going to be 30 years old.





30!!???





how did that happen?

I still feel 18 most of the time. Should I feel grown up, because I don't. Am I going to feel different when I turn 30......... When I was 18 I had plans and thoughts of where I would be at 29. I am not where I "planned" to be, but I like where I am (well except for working ALL the time)

I have heard that the 20's are carefree, fun years, but I can summarize mine with one word, work. I dedicated my 20's to working with kids who have been abused.....regrets??? some....but I think about the people I have met along the way in this job; some who are great and have challenged and inspired me and some that have me shaking my head wondering what is wrong with people. I don't want to do this job forever (I don't see how anyone can) but am not sure what else to do. I love the kids and I love the idea of my job, but the idea of my job and the actual job are very far apart.  I don't have the answer to this.....so that is one thing I am looking to change in the next year.

I have alot of things I want to do before I turn 30. I am going to make a "bucket list" of things to do before I am 30 and I will share it here as I make it and complete it!

So let the countdown begin......366 days...... I think it is going to be a fun year and I am excited to see what is in store for me. 

Here's to being 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!
