Turning 25!

I woke up feeling more mature, with an ache in my bones, looked in the mirror saw a wrinkle... Conformation; I'm twenty-five. Half way to fifty.
The day has finally come, the day where crawling in bed at 9:30 is my norm. Staying in to watch a movie sounds more fun than going out. My body taking 2 weeks to fully recover from a 24 hour bug. Where paying my credit card off is more exciting than buying something new.
Yes, I'm half way to fifty.
Where my responsibilities have become endless, the time where I start caring about the "big" stuff. Where cleaning my house is no longer a chore, but a choice.
The times of staying out late with not a care in the world have become few and far between, shots turn into wine, gulps turn into sips and comfort comes before beauty. ( although, perhaps I've always been that way).
Half way to fifty
When sleeping became a privilege and not a priority. When working became mandatory and not so ordinarily. Lazy days became guilt days by all the things i need to do. When i started molding those life long friendships, family became important, because i am not so selfish anymore. Lastly, putting others needs in front of mine. I think that's a sure sign that I'm half way to fifty!

Happy birthday to me. Thanks to all who are always molding me into the women God has created me to be.
