In a matter of 10 short days, I will be 30 years old. I still can’t believe it. Yesterday I sat on my couch reflecting on this period in my life. I like to take a moment to do this from time to time. It helps to keep me humble and grounded. I can truly say that I am so blessed! I am extremely grateful for the life I have been gifted. I have had trials and tribulations just like everyone else but I find myself thanking God for them as well. They have shown me how strong I am. They have also helped to mold me into the person that I am today.
I have accomplished a lot during this decade. I married the love of my life. I have graduated from college and grad school. I started an awesome career in nursing. I have moved around the country. I have traveled to places I have only dreamed of going. I have met people along the way that have affected my life tremendously. Of course along with the good comes the bad and the ugly. The bad: I also have faced various health issues that I never even imagined I would face and watched people I love fight for their lives due to cancer. The ugly: I lost 2 of my grandparents to Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. I have had a host of classmates too soon due to violence. Overall, I must admit the 20s have been pretty amazing.
My hope for my life going forward will be to fulfill my purpose on this earth, to have a positive impact on the people around me, and to live out loud. I hope to be able to put my reservations aside to allow my personality to shine. Life is not promised so there is no time better than the present!
