Roaring Twenties

I have this tendency to worry...or get depressed....or think about what ifs.
I remember one particular time about a year ago when I was feeling really down, I was sad about not using my degree, I felt lonely, I thought I just didn't fit it. It was a nice pity party. So Steve, being the great guy he is saw my fear and disappointment and made me a list with categories, leaving it up to me to fill out. I had forgotten all the amazing things I have done in my life so far. I made a list of old and new friends I had made, trips I've taken, concerts I've been to, Hawaii, people I've met, the Olympic Torch Run. I've coached YW basketball, interviewed an apostle and an Osmond, learned how to sew (sort of), learned how to deal with "not so nice" people in a working environment, gained new hobbies, learned more about who I really am, been sealed in the Temple to a loving spouse, graduated from college and experienced motherhood, and have felt true charity in my life. The unconditional love I have for my daughter is beyond anything I can describe.
I was having that depressed feeling again recently and needed to remind myself that getting older isn't really that bad. I'm still alive and I have the chance to keeping on truckin. Life continues on and my journey is far from over.


Overall I think I did pretty well for my twenties...next up, fabulous thirties.
