It's Your Birthday! (Okay, it's mine!)

Happy Birthday to Me!


I can't believe I'm here again...turning another year older already!
They say kids grow up fast...sheesh...so do us adults!
I never thought I'd be one to deny my age or pretend I was always that "perfect" age, but I'm starting to understand why people do it.  I'm starting to feel my age a little bit...

Anyway, that's not what this post is about.  This is about my birthday!
I always make goals on my birthday for the year.  I guess it is my form of "New Year's Resolutions," just not at the same "New Year" as everyone else.  I've always loved to break the mold a little...

Birthday Goals
1. Travel (I'm still lacking a couple continents)
2. Graduate school (Official enrollment in a program I WANT to do)
3. Exercise (Run a 5K this fall)
4. Budget (There's got to be a way that will work for me)
5. Smile (Sometimes I forget that life isn't so bad...)
6. Keep in touch with old friends better (and NOT just on facebook...ugh)
7. Purge the clutter in my life (live more SIMPLY!)
8. Mend, heal, learn, and then move on.
9. Spend more time outside (hike, bike, run, sun...rhyme)
10. Serve

I'm so glad to have been given life.  I don't always take advantage of all that it has to offer me, but I sure am grateful I get to be here.  I know that I am here to do something that only I can do.  I know that I am me because I am the only person who could be exactly me. 

Here's to another year to live and love!
