Going on 32

Today is my 31st birthday! :)

13 Going on 30 is a great, great movie. I just love it. Brian got it for me as part of my birthday present. :D You know, sometimes I don't feel a lot older than 13, myself. I just love how she was so transparent and unjaded and had such faith in the power of love and the way things should be. I think we need a lot more of that in this world. Maybe I'm naive or sheltered, but I am grateful that I am still an idealist. I want to be. I'm not saying, "Oh, I'm so great. Everyone should be more like me." Not at all! Actually, when I said I don't feel a lot older than 13 sometimes, I was referring mostly to my awkwardness and immaturity. But I also think that youthful earnestness, optimism, and exuberance are very good things (that I need more of!)

So, there. :) Challenge the status quo: have a great Monday! ;) :D

I just have to add that I am truly grateful to God for His love in Jesus Christ and for my family, especially for giving me my soulmate and two precious children. I may have problems, but in the big things, I want for nothing. My heart is full. <3
