As I sit on the easement of my 30th birthday, I've begun to reflect on some things....
~ I wish as child I would have had more integrity. I know that is not something most children have but it is important in creating good adults.
~It took 29 years, but I stopped biting my nails. I haven't stopped picking at them though.
~My parents are such good people. I can't believe how lucky I was to get them. Although, they both admit they weren't the best they could be... I couldn't imagine better. Richer yes, better no.
~My brother truly is my best friend. He is a wonderful man and I never thought he'd be half of who he is today. I am more proud of him than I could explain. He is an amazing dad, stellar friend, and he is the reason I am proud to be an American.
~I've messed up a lot of opportunities in my life. Although, the path I am on now isn't the one I began with, I intend to make the 'Best of What's Around.' (thanks Dave Matthews)
~ I definitely understand what "taking care of yourself, first" means. Making sure I am healthy is the best gift I can give my children.
~ Therapy is an essential part of my life. I don't care why, but paying a stranger to talk about my problems feels good. I see why men hire prostitutes. I realize hookers are probably cheaper, but the only piece of paper they have is a summons for solicitation. I prefer a diploma.
There is plenty of other stuff, but I can't remember. I'm getting old. My 30th birthday party is in 16 days. It is 80's theme. Lots of acid washed jeans and big hair. No blue thongs or penis cake.... I'll make sure and take lots of pictures that my daughter can see. (Obviously, before 20 shots of Patron and Jager.)
