This is also a birthday that comes with no perks to it accept for the experience and wisdom of the past year and the possibility of new beginnings for the next. Now that my car insurance is as low as it will ever be, there are not too many benefits to getting older until AARP starts showing up. I'm certainly in no hurry for that to happen.
I feel as though I am cautiously optimistic about 26. There are some big choices in front of me that I face with both excitement and trepidation. Really, I just want it to be a year of movement and growth. I'm at a point where I want something new, something different. What that will be will take some careful discernment and searching on my part. But I'm geared up for the search and hopeful for what I will find.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to a great day of coffee, movies, a visit with Grandma, and a night out with some great friends!
