In my Next 30 Years
Yesterday Michael and I were out and about and I had managed to make myself depressed over my upcoming trip around the sun when he looked at me and said something that got me to thinking. He told me I should be grateful for the life that I have led because I have done more in my (gulp) 30 years than most people have done in a life time, himself included. So, I decided, in an attempt to drag myself out of this funk, that I will comprise a list of things that I have done that I am proud of... hopefully it will inspire me to continue on with my life list... or it might just depress me even more, who knows, but it's worth a shot.
