Just another day....

So I have been secretly dreading my birthday. I keep thinking I don't want to get any older! 34 sounds SO OLD to me! What happened to 25? WOW! My sister and I have a little ongoing joke about my age. Her husband, Josh, told me when I turned 25 that I was now on the "wrong side of 25". I sent that back to him when he turned 25, five years later. Today she told me "at least you are still on the right side of 35" - YIKES!!!!
Today in church during our prayer time I was struck by the thought that instead of dwelling on how "old" I feel or the negative side of aging I should focus on the positive! I am blessed that I have one more day, one more year with my family and friends. I am blessed to have great health and love in my life. I have accomplished much in my 34 years, thanks to God's blessings and I believe he will accomplish more through me in the future.
Age really is just a number - it is not just a cliche! I do not feel old. I feel young! I am going to concentrate on that from now on!
