"The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits." - Theodore Roosevelt
I am thirty! There I said it! The day has finally come and already almost gone. While looking for quotes to commemorate today, I found the one above. Is this what it comes down to? Being middle-aged? I don't like the sound of that at all! There is something about getting older though, especially turning three-oh, you start to notice the signs of aging. I am definitely starting to see more gray hairs and wrinkles around my eyes that weren't there before.
I have no profound words of wisdom to share, just a little bit of anxiety. I'm not ringing in my dirty thirty Vegas style or even on a beach somewhere like originally planned. Instead I am visiting my sister in southern Illinois and went outlet shopping with my mom and had dinner at the only decent Mexican restaurant in town, so maybe I am middle aged!
While driving in the car today I heard One Republic's song "Good Life" over and over! Love the song! Took it as a sign that my thirties has gotta be the good life! I don't know what this next decade holds for me, but I'm hoping it will be filled with amazingness! Stay tuned!
