In . . . one . . . week . . . I will be 30. 3-0.
I remember when my dad turned 30. I thought he was SOOO OLD! At ten, 30 was three times my entire lifetime. He had a mini-mid-life crisis and got his ear pierced. It lasted a week. :) Then, after so many people have said things like "high school are the best years of your life" or "your body just starts to fall apart after 25," I thought I would have a really hard time with 30.
As shocked as I am to say this, I'm not. I'm actually looking forward to it. The last few months have some of the best of my life. I'm happier and more comfortable in my own skin than I've ever been. My body may not be as strong as in my twenties, but last month I ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back and felt like I could conquer the world.
And as much as I loved my self-indulgent twenties (focused on building my career, traveling the world, and just having a good time), I truly believe that the best years are yet to come! 30 . . . BRING IT ON!
P.S. Although I'm not having a mid-life crisis, I am going on a mid-life adventure, starting next weekend with skydiving and ending with three months in Africa. Anyone want to join me?
