I must say that I'm proud of what I have accomplished over the last 30 years. I also look forward to the next decade and beyond. Some people dread turning older. Me? I don't. Why you ask? I had a dear childhood friend who never made it to 28. He died of an asthma attack in front of his small children. This is why I ask my husband to carry his inhaler everywhere he goes. As a matter of fact, my friend's birthday is today, or yesterday by the time you read this post. I thank God every year for allowing me to see another year.
Accomplishments in my 30s:
I was proposed to by a wonderful man.

As a new 40 year old woman, I am still searching for my voice. I grew up a preacher's daughter and there were certain ways a PK should act. I know how I wanted to act and sometimes still want to act that way. However, that's an inner struggle I deal with on occasion. That's a separate blog post. Actually it could be a book.
