Today is my first full day as a 24 year old. Not old by any standards, and not really a monumental year by my standards. It's just here. Today is Thursday - and, oh yeah, I'm also 24 now. I have plans to celebrate this weekend, and we had a great time last night celebrating my actual birthday.
But I didn't want to just continue on. Not just yet. I wanted to think out loud about what this next year may bring for me.
I know this upcoming year is going to be an interesting one. We're out of school, C will probably start grad school soon. We've been in this town for longer than we ever imagined, and we want to move back closer to family & friends.
I want to work free-lance. Pursue writing. Try out marketing. I want C to get experience in a counselor's office, pass his GRE, and get into a good grad school. I want him to take that next step to having his own practice.
That's what we wished existed.
And now it's time to make our wishes come true. It'll be hard work. We'll be going out on faith. We may be challenged more than we're ready for. Or it may be simple. There's no way of knowing until we try. But this next year is our year for taking that next step. One step closer to where we wish we were.
And I'm excited about it. I'm so excited about it finally being time to pursue our wishes. To mold our ideas of "the future" into "the reality." I'm excited about the plans set before us - even if our minds and plans are changed - I know there's something good ahead of us.
I find myself with a blank canvas in front of me - and I'm excited about seeing what comes out of it. ♥
Now back to regular, old Thursday...
