weirder in some ways

(the sunrise during my morning jaunt this morning.  it was spectacular to say the least)

Two days ago I realized that I only had one month left in my "early 30's."
One month.
Thirty short days.
And then, my mid-thirties would be barreling down upon me like a runaway train.

Now, imagine if you will, what you thought your life would look like when you were in your mid-thirties.
Got that picture there?
What does it look like for you?
I'm sure you have(had) one.
Everyone does.

Yeah, I could see mine too.
Funny thing is though....now that I'm staring down those "mid-thirties" dead in the eyes,
my reality doesn't meet up with my imagination in any sense of the word.
Nope.
Not one tiny bit.
In most ways it's much better.
In some ways it's little weirder.
In almost every way, it's completely different than I imagined.

These last few months I've found a few things that I would like to change.
I found a few things that I would like to be better at.
Improve upon.
Fix, if you would.

And since there is no time like the present, I did.
It feels good to make yourself change.
Change for the better.
Challenge yourself.
Stop wallowing in "exactly who I am right now."
Live.
Be.

Here's to stepping outside of your comfort zone.
Cheers.
