count down...

i'll be kissing my 2o's goodbye, and welcoming my 30's in 17 days. all in all, i'd like to say good riddance, dear 20's, but too many learning opportunities came my way. i'm not quite grown up yet, thank ze lawd, but the past few years have led me to the path i want to be on.

i lost myself only to find myself more times than i can count.
people have come and gone.
i learned to knit and reconnected with beading.
i found people in my life that i hope to still be calling friends in 50 years.
i adopted fur babies.
i met the love of my life.
i married.
i gained 15 pounds and perspective.
although still reclusive, i've found balance in this aspect of my life.
i devoted a room to myself.
i've loosened my iron grip.

lots of things have happened over the past decade. luckily i can say that i've learned from most.
