birthday countdown
watching the replay of the european f1 grand prix while trying on snicket's (my roommate) gifts for me is a great way to prepare myself for the inevitable...turning 25 =)celebrations are for kids, ruminations are for teenage drama queens that i once was, reflections are for those who've had quite a number of hard earned life lessons under their belt - that's me! at this point in my life, i know that i can own up to my decisions and more importantly face the consequences of whatever i end up doing with my life. i am happy to have my family and friends who are all quietly or not so quietly cheering me on. i am taking things easy and appreciating the present. i do get disappointed and i get upset but i move on. i am excited of what the future brings. i am not one to plan long term (except for that australian grand prix trip next year which should be in the works as soon as next year's schedule comes in) but i am trying my best to fill my planner with not just reminders about deadlines but with more important occasions that will truly rock my world.
i'm a rockstar but not quite yet in the league where i should be. a lot of things have been happening to special people in my life and yes i do pause to think about when it will be my time but more often i just bask in genuine joy for these people and then forget about me. i choose to do it my way, my pace.
so now i'm steady where i am but ready to be wherever the wind brings me. i thank each and every one of you who touched me in ways you may not even know of but most of all i thank you for making me smile every single day =)
