What is Thirty?
Thirty is when “I'm gonna be” becomes “I used to think I was gonna be”.
when “ACTIVE-Will Play” becomes “DOUBTFUL-Hamstring”.
when “I'll meet you there” becomes “I have to be up early tomorrow”.
when “Why not?” becomes “Do you think it's worth the effort?”
when “Yes, we can” becomes “Do you really think that's wise?”
when “I saw them play downtown” becomes “I've never heard of that band.”
when “I will do what I want” becomes “I'll do what is best for them.”
Ha! Yep. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteSo true...
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about your post. (It really spoke to me.) And another one occurred to me, just as sad. 30 is also when "I do" often becomes "I don't anymore."
ReplyDeleteThirty- well said. A little wisdom joins some experience to partner with unbridled energy. The result? Possibilities are endless.
ReplyDeleteI have far less fear, fewer insecurities, greater strength and endurance... can't WAIT to see what my forties are like :)
Lovely post.
ReplyDelete"because I can" became "because I said so!"
