where it all began

I started making a birthday list on the 13th birthday. It started as more of a way to track my life than anything, just my general interests as they changed, but then it turned into a way to list goals and monitor my achievements. I have certainly achieved a lot, and I am always always always setting new goals. I think that's good. I really need the visual, too. Perhaps tomorrow I will blip my storyboard that shows a new way to keep myself on track.

Anyway, I'll be 40 this year. I'm super excited! I wrote my birthday list this morning - yes, life kind of got away from me here for a bit - so in just a few months I'll be opening it to find what I have achieved and/or not achieved. I'm glad I do this. It's interesting to get to go back and reflect and to see how my life, wishes, goals have all changed so dramatically through the years.

So true. xo
