Almost Thirty

• I still accidentally laugh uncontrollably at very inappropriate times
• I still call my dad on anything related to taxes, money, cars, and contracts
• I still call my dad when I need the unconditional love from an amazing man
• I still have all my High School memorabilia in my closet at my parent’s house
• And, I still want my mommy when I’m sick

I guess 30 is just another number, although it’s a big fat round one.  Perhaps I should have more figured out by now, more plans, a baby, property, or even a car less that 10 years old.  But for now, I have no complaints.  I’m not sure at what age the clear epiphanies start rolling in or if they ever do.  Each year has brought new challenges and lessons that do not necessarily apply to the next set of challenges and lessons.  You figure one thing out then something you didn’t even expect shows up.  I think that is the way life works at 15, 30, or 90.  You have to take it all as it comes and as my wise grandfather use to say, “knowledge is knowing that there is always more to learn.”   So I will embrace 30 with arms open wide, thankfully I still have many months to go.
