...One year older and wiser too???

It is always wierd to have a birthday and become one year older. I turned 28 yesterday, but I don't feel like I should be that old yet. I feel like I should still be in my early 20's or something. I am 2 years from being 30. That is pretty crazy! Although, the other day, this guy that I work with thought that I was 22 or 23. I try to take that as a compliment, because I know that when I do get old, I will really wish that I was younger. :)
My friend Sarah asked me if I had done the things that I wanted to do by the time I was this age, but as sad as it is, I didn't really have any goals set for myself. I have started my family and I think that when I was younger, that was pretty much the only thing that I really wanted. Now I don't want you to get me wrong, having a family is a big deal, and I love mine so very much, but what do I want? Where do I want to go? How do I want to raise my family? Do I laugh enough? Do I help my family or the community? What should I do for Dan to make him the happiest husband ever? I think like many people in this world, I just kinda cruise by. I don't take the time to evaluate my life and think of the things that I need or even want to do. When I am with my little girls, they make things so simple. I try to be patient and be like them, because they take in EVERYTHING! They love to learn and laugh and be crazy. Life is so short and yet I take for granted that I am going to wake up in the morning and be there with my family. I guess I need to breath and slow down. I need to be more happy. I need to tell people that I love them. I need to not be so scared of life in general.


Am I crazy for thinking about all this stuff because I turned 28? I don't know, but it can't hurt!
