Its official I am thirty, three decades of existence. I am at least now accepting that I am 30 or 30ish. If I could get a cake from anywhere it would be from...http://www.angelfoodltd.com/presentation.html but they are in IL:(
It is amazing to turn old. I guess old has changed meaning to me. I remember thinking I would never be 12, 16, 18, 21, 25, and now 30! It is ironic that I spent childhood dreaming of adult hood and now in adulthood I dream of childhood. You know the saying about youth wasted on the young, I’m not convinced that it is true. I think part of the allure of youth is that you don’t fully appreciate it. It is spent in what appears endless hours dreaming, wishing and creating. I do miss the time when I was not so aware of my body. The pains, stiffness, limits, and frailty. I use to love to jump on the trampoline in my backyard. Now I can hardly jump at all. I use to just live my life-- now I take much thought and care into each movement and plan. I heard a quote that said if I were to live my life over again I would make all the mistakes sooner. I like that because that is how I have learned. Sometimes I would love to turn back time. Knowing what I know now. But I think it would all turn out different. My knowledge would affect the choices I make and I wouldn’t end up who I am. I definitely have sorrow for my mistakes-- the pain I caused others and the opportunities I missed out on. However I really do love being me. I love being Missy Riffle, wife to the honorable Scott. He is like a dream come true. He inspires me to be the best Missy. SO Happy Birthday!!! What does age really matter... because it is all relative. Many adults I meet don’t have a fraction of the wisdom many children posses. I like to celebrate my birthday but not my age. Here is to another 30 years. I hope I never quit growing or learning, because any day above ground is full of potential to stretch and reach the stars. (I wish Anth and I could perform in a play together like bro and sis bop to the top-- that how I want to reach the stars:))
