Another Year, Another Year Wiser

That's what they say. It's true. I feel that this past year was a year of growing with new experiences. I'm not looking forward to growing older though. I was proud of the fact that I could say, "I'm still young and learning." I can now only say, "I'm learning."

Sure the big 3-0 is supposed to be the new 20, but that just sounds silly, like someone patting you on the head saying, "There, there." I don't feel that way. I've heard it all goes down hill from here. Things drop, ache, and stretch, things you never knew could. I'm not really looking forward to it. I'm already yearning for my twenties.

Listen to me, I sound like a 30 year old already.

A student put it best, "Look on the bright side, at least your not super old, like 32!"
"Thanks," I said, "A motivational speaker, you are not. Good try though."
