Well today marks 29 years of life for me!!! WOW!! Has Time flown by! I can remember as a kid saying to my self " when i turn 25 i'll be married , with at least 2 kids, and a really big house" to me at the time that was life , i couldn't imagine life going any other way... i mean why would it?? my mom and dad got married young and they had 2 kids by the time they where 25, the had a house and seemed to be happy...I could remember just dreaming of all the wonderful things i wanted to do, all the possibilities!! i soooo looked forward to adulthood ....
Do you ever wish you could talk to your kid self (lol) and tell your self to stay in a child's place ?? lol I had no business worrying about who was going to be my husband and how many kids i would have by 25! What is it about us that makes us want to always worry about the next thing? why not enjoy the current moment / season?
well that is something i learned this past year : ENJOY THE NOW!! sometimes i feel like i couldn't even have fun or go out and do things with the people i loved because i was always getting ready for "Tomorrow" or getting ready for "25"
well as you know today is my birthday!! (yayyy) and im 29...4 years past my "due date" and i'm no where near my big house , kids or husband that i was "supposed to have... in fact my life is the total opposite...every year past my "due date" i would began to question why not me? id often ask the lord "are you testing me? i just couldn't understand for the life of me why my dreams that i had for myself seemed so far away...
but where my dreams really that far away?
this past year i celebrated my first year as a salon owner.. as a little girl i lovvved hair and i knew that i would one day make that passion into a career. this past year i also enrolled in a fashion course and i'm now learning to sew and design clothes as well, i had the opportunity to work with some amazing local designers in Kansas city fashion week! as a youngster i always loved fashion, i sketched out my outfits that i would "one day " wear and now i finally get to experience that dream! you see i was so focused on "One day" that i forgot to be thankful for what was right in front of me . i didn't appreciate my current chapter, i was to busy trying to read ahead..
Chapter 29 will be different! i'm making a promise to myself that i will love my season no matter how its wrapped up..even if its not where i dreamed of being...
so what if your 28, 29, 30, 35, 38, 40, 80 or 100 and your not where you thought you'd be... love your current chapter ! it maybe the only time you have to appreciate that season! every ones story is different ....create yours and make the best of it!
I truly thank you for taking the time to read this ...now check out my birthday photo shoot! pictures by www.vicspix.com
