31
I turned 31 this past Saturday and a few people at work have asked me, "How does it feel to be 31?"
Really, what does that mean? It's not as if yesterday feels all that different from today, and unless something major happens, tomorrow will not be all that different from today. This is not to say that I am bored or unsatisfied, just that I'm OK with the status quo, and that excitement and spontanity are a smaller percentage of my daily life now than a few years ago. With a few very notable exceptions, most days run together like a blur
- The day after I was married, that definitely felt different than the day before.
- The day after I bought my first house, I felt different than the day before.
- The day after my daughter was born, my life had definitely changed.
So it's not like I'm out searching for Wild Adventures on Pirate ships or Hot Air Ballooning around the world in 80 days, but I've just been thinking about the "how does it feel to be (insert age here)" question and wondering... how will I answer next year? Will things have changed around me, or will I have changed them?
