I'm now 29 .... 30 is right around the corner

October 15th, 2007 .... I turned 29. I didn't have a meltdown like I did when I turned 25. I didn't get stuidly drunk like I did when I turned 21. I woke up thinking to myself (yes at 5:00 am), "My God! Right at this time, the doctor told my parents that they gave birth to a fiesty little girl."I've been fiesty alright, for 29 years and 1 week now. So now that I have 51 weeks left until I turn 30, there are come changes that need to be made, some habits that need to be broken. I know that every year, we tend to make resolutions about the things that we need to improve on, but for some reason, this time, I feel like it is now or never. Eventually I want to become a parent, a Ph.D. recipient, a company owner, a kick-ass dancer, a better cook, etc. I know all of these things are possible. But I need to set actual, possible, maintainable goals and not go on with saying someday, eventually ... I need to knock those things out of my vocabulary. I know that the past has a tendency to hold people back. For the past few years, I think I have tried to make amends for things that happened to me before, and while that's nice, it doesn't change the fact that those things happened. So it's time! Time to be the difference, not just make one. Right now, right here, I have to start living life. Live it and not be afraid of it. Take on the true responsibility of taking care of my business and not blaming anyone for what I can and can't get done. The time is now to be a better everything, to handle my business better and I can't do that sitting on my butt. So at 12:01, the party begins. Countdown to grown and sexy 30's .... looks like I'll be changing the name of this blog soon enough.
