So here I am. I took some time last night to take stock of my life. Not in a serious way, but in a let’s see where I am right now. And you know what? I’m pretty darn happy with life right now. I am lucky enough to have and hold a Hubby that I adore. Even if, right this minute, he looks like a cave man. I am lucky enough to have a family, that despite me being as different to them as possible, love me to death. I must seem like a total outcast weirdo at some times to them. But they never flinch.
My parents, my siblings and their partners {and kid, hey Arleigh girl!} are wonderful and I am SO blessed to have them. My house, my car, my blog, my wardrobe… Just everything. The bursting with gratitude thing started this week. I’m grateful, to be here and to be loved and appreciated. 29 whole years on this planet and barely a minute wasted {napping isn’t wasted, no matter WHAT my Dad says}. I cannot WAIT to see what the next 12 months holds. I have this feeling like it’s going to be big things. But only time will tell.
Year 30 of my life, ready or not, here I come.
And the first destination? The gym. Catch you guys later.
