29

... the end of my roaring twenties...

" We turn not older with years, but newer every day" - Emily Dickinson

Its funny how your birthday always takes you back down memory lane.  How you spend the day reflecting on your life.  And how you ask yourself "will this year really be the best yet?"

I sure hope so, hello 29! 

A lot happens in your 20's.  You graduate college, legally can start drinking (sorry mom!) , you start your first career,  build meaningful relationships, you fall in love & get your heart broken (probably more than once).  You fly the coop & learn what it is to be an "adult".  You start blogs! You become you.

In my twenties I've made mistakes.

"People often say that your 20s are a time to make mistakes.  But what's important about this is not the act of actually making the mistake itself, but rather learning from the lessons these mistakes teach us.  Whether it's a slip up on a relationship or at your job, don't get down on yourself... take it as a lesson learned." - Thank you Lauren Conrad

Making mistakes is being brave.  I'm thankful for my mistakes I made or else I would not be where I am today.  Happy, grateful & in love with life!

People often forget that it is your decision on how you want to live the rest of your life.  I've enjoyed my 20's and so far  they have been the best years yet! 

I'm not the gal that is scared of being "one year closer to 30" I believe that no matter your age, you can have a life that is fabulous & magnificent!

...wine Wednesday... 

So,  this is what I want for my birthday:  for YOU to go out & enjoy this day like it is your own!!   This is my thank you, to ALL my friends & family for sending their love today via every social media outlet & snail mail (I love getting mail!).  It sounds cliché, but I am beyond blessed.

Cheers!
