Countdown to a new decade!

It's really just hitting me. In a matter of minutes I will leave my twenties behind and begin the third decade of me. Wow! 30! I must say that lately I'd been too busy with school etc. to really soak it all in, but it's real now! I know many before me have been down this road, and would probably laugh at me for making such a big deal, but all of a sudden it feels like a lot to take in. I was on the bus today overwhelming myself with self-talk; "first there's 30 and then 40s coming fast behind that...". And then in the midst of my rant I got a text from a classmate that helped me adjust my focus. What a tremendous blessing has come in the form of this life, my life.

Many often suggest that we should cherish our every moment because tomorrow's not promised. As I reflect, I thank God for my near 30 years of tomorrows. I pray that so far I've been able to use my existence to reflect God's love. On the dawn of this new decade I truly give thanks, thanks to the Mama and Daddy who created me, and to every single person who has shared some part of this journey with me thus far.

At this moment, 10 minutes from the big day, I welcome all that God has in store. I create continued happiness, love, peace, abundance, and joy! I choose, right now, to live, not just like tomorrow is not promised, but like this moment,right now,is another precious opportunity to birth some aspect of myself that never existed before. What a gift; each second, I am born! God, thank you for creating a space for me to be here, for this past thirty years, and for all of those that are to come.
