My Next 30 Years...

As I approached the dreaded 3-0, I was reminded of Tim McGraw's song...

I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done
Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears
And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I’m doing here
In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, I’m gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I’ll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here ,In my next thirty years

In my next thirty years


I don't think it's the actual number that freaks me out...

...it's the fact that I'm 30...and I still don't know that much more than I did when I was 25...

I don't feel 30...

I don't feel like an adult...

I don't feel like I thought I would at 30...

Maybe that's the point? I know that we're all figuring things out on a day to day basis. Maybe we're not supposed to know how we'll feel at (blank) age. Maybe the game changes as we change/get older?

The only thing we can do is become the best version of ourselves, right? And that comes with time (age), right?

Here's to my next 30 years:) Let's enjoy the ride!
