So, the purpose of this blog; to accept that my age is a perfectly acceptable age.
Here goes
This is so silly
Right
So, yesterday, on the 16th of February, I turned.... 33.
For some reason hitting 33 has got me stumped. I had this issue when I hit 25. Exactly the same issue. And its not about getting 'old' or being 'past it', its about having my life on track. I really thought at age 25 that I would know what I wanted to be doing with my life, really thought that I would be with a person I wanted to be with for a long time, really thought that my life would be 'on track'.
So imagine my surprise when at age 33 I still don't have those answers.
I'm further along in my 'life quest' than I was at 25, but I'm still not at the stage I thought I would be. I'm still definitely living a single life, I live by myself, I eat approximately 1 meal a week at my house - its not even 'my house', I spend an obscene amount of money on clothes, I go on holidays at the drop of a hat and a good majority of my friends are also single. I do however now have a sizable house deposit, I have an investment portfolio, I own a newish car outright, I have my own business and my friends are all in very respectable jobs (some are even married and [gasp] have children), its just that most of us haven't quite 'got there'.
I know its ludicrous, to expect to be at some particular checkpoint in my life, by a certain date. And I didn't even realise that my 33rd birthday was one of those dates, until yesterday!
So here it is, my self affirmation.
"I embrace 33 whole heartedly. I look forward to the challenges and adventures that being 33 holds for me. I accept that it is not reasonable for me to put checkpoints and date stamps on important events in my life. I love being me"
Hmmm, a bit too Louise Hay, but its a starting point.
Happy 33rd Birthday Skiminee, may 2010 and your 33rd year bring love and luck.

PS - Don't you love how self indulgent blogs can be? Oh and I received some beautiful presents from my lovely family and friends, particularly a tiny travel journal for my Europe Trip! Thanks Rik! x
