being in my 30's

@ 11:55 AM (10 months, 18 days ago)
I;ve been reflecting of late on what it is like to finally be into my 30's. I think I could stay here! I love finally not being referred to as the kid. I love being taken seriously in conversation, and not being thought of as not being able to "handle it." Sometimes this strength is quite a cross to bear, but people are finally takign me seriously! I absolutely love it. I'm quite far from having "arrived," but it sure feels good to have my mind and my thoughts right at this point in life. I hve a stability that I've never had before. I have wayward thoughts once in a while, I live in a fantasy world once in a while. In that world, I'm married with a kid and maybe a really uber cool job, nice house, maybe even a minivan! LOL! Maybe I'm married to a professor, and maybe a small businessman. Either way. No preference either way. I'm enjoying being in the palm of God's hand right now. Psalm 100 talks about God having made me, not me making myself. That's so true in my life, since I've never really had goals, really. Just trying to survive. Now, I feel like I'm getting ready to thrive!

  7. Maybe I'm NOT a kid and that's just a photo of someone else? Maybe I'm in YOUR age bracket and view the glass as more than half full.

  9. Getting old isnt easy and involves a lot of pain in the bones and joints. Things that invade the Mental space and require more Self medication than Pharmecutical type. Legal weed is the current prescribed pain reliver of choice in some states of America due to the fact that it is Organic in nature.

  13. Welcome to the newer readers! I don't know who you guys are, but welcome. Thank you for stopping by! I watched the pathetic excuse for a speech by blago...it was rather passable. He basically tooted his own horn. No new revelations and no resignation, althoug I was crossing my fingers for it, that's for sure!
