I woke up 30 today.

30.....

I have been dreading this day for weeks, seriously stressing over it. But Why?

In all honesty, I am not that sad to see my 20's go. I had a lot of heartache early on, and lived most of the years in an extremely destructive lifestyle before I got sober.

However,

Both of my kids were born to me in my 20's, I have grown as a person immensely these past few years, I have joined this community and started an online business which is a long time dream of mine, and I have moved to a brand new city and have a great life.

So in some way, I am really sad to see them go. 30 just seems like such a big change for me, and maybe I feel like I should have accomplished more in my life by the time I reached this milestone.

Many great things have happened in my 20's and I am sure many will happen in my 30's as well.

Today I need to remember to be patient with myself and everyone around me, and proud of where I am at in life.

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend - mine will be spent with my kids. Exactly where I want to be.
