Yesterday was my 44th Birthday. Once upon a time, that seemed old. Now that I’m here, I don’t *feel old. Do you ever start feeling old?

I feel very introspective around this time of year, maybe related to another birthday, maybe related to the end of the year and all that comes with that. Now you get to follow along with those thoughts.

What matters most in my life? My children. My husband. Knowing that I am doing the best I can do.

Am I putting enough effort into my relationships? No. I could definitely do more, and I intend to.

Am I living true to myself? Yes, probably more so than I ever have before. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve really stopped caring what most people think. If you’re not someone I care about, I’m not going to concern myself with your opinion.

What have I learned? That I can trust myself. Wish I’d Learned that sooner.

Have I stepped out of my comfort zone? This one is hard for me. I am definitely a creature of Comfort, and it’s really hard for me to break out of that. I’m trying.

What scares me? I have anxiety, so that’s a loaded question, lol. I often have 10,000 things or more than scare me. For now, we’ll go with having a newly licensed driver in the house. Turning her loose with a car is a new level of terrifying.

I’m a work in progress, which is definitely better than the alternative.
