...my birthday.
I am pretty sure I had a conversation with Heavenly Father last year about my birthday. I thought we had a clear understanding that I had no interest in getting older.
Obviously someone is not listening.
Anywho-
As it so happens, I turned twenty-nine yesterday. The last year in my twenties. Thirty is staring at me, and kinda mocking me.
However, there is some hope. As Jane Austen put it: "It sometimes happens, that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than
she was ten years before; and, generally speaking, if there has been
neither ill health nor anxiety, it is a time of life at which
scarcely any charm is lost."- Persuasion
That makes me feel so much better. And it is true. Let us compare

Not only has my sense of fashion improved (what was I thinking, wearing that skirt with sneakers?), but I now have an overall sense of who I am and where I want to be. From this angle, thirty isn't looking too bad.
This may also have to do with a guy I am seeing. But that is really for another post. Soon. I promise.
And, let's see how my Thirty before 30 list is coming along...
