Growing up I always pictured my 21st birthday to be a pretty reckless event. I mean, full of friends, liquor and a huge hangover the next day. Last year I spent my 21st Birthday 6 months pregnant, drinking a virgin Piña Colada. Today, there is no escaping it, I am really no longer a teenager. I spent my 22nd Birthday with my hubby and baby girl and couldn’t be any happier eating my Ice cream cake surrounded by family and friends.
Here’s to adulthood. What I’ve come to realize is that it’s all the little things. Having a quiet moment to yourself, a clean house, laundry done, dishes clean and dinner ready. Simple things that bring some peace of mind in a moms world.
At 22 the things that I seem to catch myself day dreaming about are the new appliances due to arrive to my house this weekend. A new fridge, washer and dryer. Why am I so excited about these things? I opened my Etsy shop today, something that before, I wouldn’t have really cared about, here I am today hoping for a successful Shop, a beginning to my entrepreneurial carrier.
I blew out my birthday candles and I realized after, that I hadn’t made a wish. Not to crawl up the corny tree but everything I could have wished for, I thankfully have. My healthy daughter, a great relationship with my best friend, friends and family around me. I didn’t make a wish but a simple thank you, to blow out my candles. Thank you because things are finally seeming to go so right.
So here’s to adulthood, where it’s all the little things that make up the big things. 🎂
