27. Late 20's. I'm old.
These were my initial thoughts on my upcoming birthday. For once, even if you couldn't tell :p, I didn't insist on making a big fuss about my birthday. I didn't know on what day of the week it fell. I wasn't sure what my plans were for the actual day. I guess I wasn't sure how to feel about turning another year older, inching closer to 30.
After some thought and celebrating with good friends, I realized how silly all of those thoughts were. Birthdays are a blessing! Another year of adventure, opportunity, and enjoying life with those that you love. My 27th birthday was one of the greatest birthdays I've had. My friends in Mexico took the time and effort to throw an amazing surprise party that was SO me, a cooking party! My husband surprised me with flowers and made sure I was at the party on time. He took me to dinner where he ordered both banana's foster and Nutella stuffed crepes. Heaven? It has to be. For once in my adult life, I didn't spend my birthday in a cubicle. I learned how to make tortellini with new friends on one side and a glass of wine (or a few) on the other. Everything was perfect. I felt so loved.

I think all of this goes to show how perspective can affect you. Is 27 late 20s/old or is it the start of another wonderful year with a little more experience under my belt? If you have a positive outlook and a good support system, everything in life can be a little brighter and a little more special. Who doesn't want that?!

27 is young, my friend!:)
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It's totally about perspective. Or as John Mayer says, "So scared of getting older, I'm only good at being young. So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun."
