I got 33 years and still going...

So, I get this way every year around my birthday.  But I do have to say the past few birthdays have been pretty great. 

Long gone are the days of extravagant celebrations.  What used to be a month long of celebration, I may be cut it down to just about 1 weekend.  Or maybe two.  Just depends on who wants to take me out to lunch or dinner.  LOL.

The past few years have been pretty good to me.  I can't complain.  It's been an opportunity for me to reconnect with myself, and focus on me.  I've done things that I've always wanted to do and can cross those off on my bucket list.

Some of my achievements this year:

1) Ran my 1st Full Marathon

2) Competed in my 1st Disney Challenge race (Dumbo Double Dare Challenge)

3) Went to Florida for the 1st time

4) Went on vacation/resort all by myself

5) Utilized as much as I can public transportation to save gas and money

6) Been to a bar by myself

7) Rode a mechnical bull

8) Learned how to really line dance and two-step

9) Went to a sporting event (Rugby Seven's)

10) Started to play an organized sport (Rugby)

11) Started ushering at church

As you can see, there are a lot of things on this list that were by myself.  This isn't a bad thing.  It's actually been quite liberating.  I can choose to do things on the fly, and make changes as needed.  There are still many things I want to experience.

Let's hope I can find someone that is just as adventurous and sponatneous as I am.

Cheers to the past 33 years of life, and the upcoming adventures to follow!

And the beat goes one...

And so it goes again.

Hi there.  It's me again.  I find myself in and out of blogging.  I actually got in to writing a handwritten journal which I may go back to from time to time.  I am much more fluent and efficient when I'm typing it out though.  The only drawback to typing is that it feels lifeless, cold, rigid, and unemotional.

At least with a hand writing journal, there is more effort put in to it.  More thought at the words because you can't go "backspace" or "delete" when you mess up.  You have to cross it out.  And sometimes in life you can't just delete things.  You have to cross it out.

See, life is like one giant journal.  One that we are continually writing.  God knows how our story goes, and if you are believer, you know how the story ends.  But it's the riveting and suspenseful moments that keep us intrigued from point A to point B, then skip to D, rewind to C, and the proceed to point E.

I only hope that I can keep on top of my blogging/journaling for my peace of mind, and to help process my thoughts.

Until next time, good night!
