It's My Birthday!

I will be honest... I have been dreading the big 3-0 for some time now.  Don't get me wrong; I love birthdays and I am grateful to be alive as so many never see this age.  But leaving my 20's felt like an impassable wall- I didn't want to reach that ultimate grown-up-ness that "your thirties" seems to entail.
But guess what?  There's no going back now!  I am 30 and I am excited for all that this decade will bring.

For anyone else hitting this milestone, I found this to be helpful (at least for a chuckle):

So here I plunge forward, trying to avoid freak-outs, have no regrets, and just look forward to the awesomeness I am yet to be and to experience.  Wish me luck!
