Thirty-one; it's not just the label on the side of some polka-dotted tote, but the label on my life. Wow. How did this happen?
I'm half-smiling, shaking my head, wondering where the past year has disappeared to. Then as if on cue, I catch my reflection and see the unmistakable new wrinkles and know exactly where the year went. I'm sorry, I am still in shock- THIRTY-ONE!
Last year I celebrated the beginning of a new decade with enthusiasm, anxious about the next adventure. I had brought in the new year with a group of phenomenal women, initiated by my loving husband, and organized by old friends. I had written these simple truths about life and was over-the-moon happy and looking forward to another year. And now, that year is over.
So what did I learn in that year?
Life is peculiar.
