33

Today I am 33. I woke up a little sad but it soon disappeared with all the nice things that have come my way this morning:

flowers
gift certificate
heartfelt card with envelope reading "#1 wife"
beautiful necklace from parents
my office desk decorated with photos/balloons/rose petals/streamers
donuts in our staff meeting
tons of emails and calls from friends all over the world
soon to be yummy dinner at Babbo

Overall I feel so lucky. 33 has been an amazing year. I got married. Changed jobs. Put my writing out there on-air and on print. Traveled a ton. Boosted my confidence again. I think I felt a little sad this morning because it's in my nature to be a refelective dork when things change in my life. I need it. I need to feel the low before the high. It's the way I've always been.

Things I want to do in 34:

Learn how to sail
Write more
Be a better friend to some people
Keep laughing and try to be a little less serious
Mentor again
More mini-creative projects - things I can accomplish w/a full time job
Volunteer more
Read my new digital camera manual
Write more letters and/or postcards
Go to Portugal

There is more on the list that I'll keep private.
For now - why blog everything.
