28

i have 30 more minutes left and tomorrow i'll no longer be 28. 29 seems a little old, 30 seems older. i've decided this coming year that i need to embrace more, do more, even if i'm 29 or 30, or whatever age i am, age really doesn't matter, it's just how we feel am i right? this last year has had a few ups and a few downs, i feel that i've learned more and i only hope that the things that i have gone through have shaped me a bit, have helped me see things better and helped me become only better. i feel these last couple of months all that i've been thinking is how i'll be 29 soon and that i haven't really embraced being my good old 28 year old self. before i fall asleep here's a few or i guess i should say 28 things that i have loved, love, will continue to love..

i love..
how this past summer i took up rock climbing..my new pink finger nail polish (thanks krista)..my mornings where i get to sleep in past 6 am..making new veggie meals..my green kitchen table..fresh tomatoes..my new stackable measuring cups (thanks to mr hubby)..phone calls from marta..chats with jake and hearing sam laugh..the smell of new books..yoga..my family..the new kanye west album (i do and i love him)..flipflops..blue plate diner and that black bean burrito..david bowie..pictures (old, new)..Abby's quilts..anthro bowls..clothes right out of the dryer..fish tacos..mom's garden..baby d. axel..hummus harvest on savory please..how good my nephews are at sports..my dad..being content. being happy.
i have a feeling this next year will be a good one, today as my students helped me with my 29 sun salutations i read this quote,

"every day that we wake up is a good day. every breath that we take is filled with hope for a better day. every word that we speak is a chance to change what is bad into something good." walter mosley

so here's to another year of waking up loving and really enjoying each moment.

happy friday
