As my 30th birthday quickly approaches, I am wondering more and more where my life is headed. I am very fortunate in the fact that I have so many amazing people in my life. I have a large, supportive family, great friends, and a wonderful boyfriend. I always have someone to talk to or confide in, no matter where I am at. I have never felt truly alone, because I know that a family member or friend is either at the house, or just a phone call away. I really couldn't ask for more.
But at the same time, I look at all the changes that I still need to make. I'm not where I want to be at this point in my life and have had my share of both ups and downs over the past few years. Just when I think something is going the way I want it to, I find out that I've hit another road block and need to come up with another plan. There are so many unexpected twists and turns throughout life and you have to be prepared to handle whatever comes your way, whether it is positive or negative. As Forest Gump says, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Silly as it sounds, it's true. We're almost in a new year. And a new year means new beginnings. I'd like to start out 2009 on a positive note. So, the first thing I'm doing is eliminating my part-time job. I have come to this decision after a lot of thought and believe it is the right one. Unfortunately, I really enjoy spending time with the kids there, especially the little ones. I will miss them and I know they will wonder why I am leaving them. But, I really need to focus on some other things...like me! :)
Hopefully everything else will fall into place after that. Maybe I'll get a job making more money. Maybe Brian's house will sell. Maybe I'll get married in a few years. Maybe I'll have kids. After all, I am almost 30!
