Today I turn 30. I didn't think it would be as stressful as it is. In many regards it's just like any other day; I have to work, My wife has to work, the kids have school, and people around me all have their lives going on. But it's different. Today is supposed to be special, if for no other reason than that today is my day, my one day a year when I can focus on the past year, goals for the coming year, and what I'm doing right now. In the past year, I've done nothing; or at least nothing worth noting. The people closest to me, who matter most, other than my wonderful wife and daughters, have moved. It's hard to find those little perks that make days like today wonderful. I don't have a party planned. In fact, except for those who already knew, I'm not telling anyone. It's going to be a day, a day for me to think, reflect, perspect(if that's even a word ;}) and prepare to grow next year. Today, like other Thursdays, is the beacon day warning of the rocks of the weekend. I am prepared.
thanks for reading this, listening to me rant, and taking your time.
