another year

Thirty seemed like the beginning of a new chapter in my life. From that point I thought I would start reclaiming pieces of myself day by day, bit by bit. But somehow I woke up and a year has passed. And I can't seem to remember my dreams.

It's not about getting older. It's about time slipping away before I've found contentment in what I'm doing with this life.

I feel the time slipping away, too. There's so many things I still want to do, places to visit, time to share with family and friends. Can't imagine how I'm going to pack it all in, but I'm certainly going to make a valiant effort.

Happy Birthday my dear, sweet, amazingly wonderful, best friend. Hoping you can find that contentment you're searching for sooner rather than later.

Happy Birthday Christy! 30 is the new 20 right? (wink) Well then, you've got PLENTY of time left to catch those dreams! Perhaps perfect contentment isn't meant to be completely found in this life...rather, the searching for perfection keeps us on our toes in this great adventure on earth :).

I've been away at the beach, but I thought of you, as I always seem to do on October 3. Happy Birthday, friend.

Happy belated birthday! Time flies faster every year, no doubt about it. I feel it, too.

I turned 33 three days ago, and I've am CONSTANTLY thinking about time slipping away. It's cliche, I know, but the years are flying by, I haven't done anything I thought I wanted to.

I guess what I'm saying is that it is a common feeling.
