I’m turning 44 ( i thought I was turning 43) in a week. I haven’t had my nails done since my wedding 18 years ago and a massage once in ’98. I don’t do anything for myself right down to forgetting to get my needs at the grocery everytime I go. It’s sad but the only thing I want is new glasses and Hod willing contacts if my bad eyes can still wear them and a chiropractor to fix my displaced vertebrae haha. A tummy tuck is a pipe dream that may never be. Bask in still having your mama saying such sweetness to you. I’d give anything to talk to my mom again. And do something for yourself more often!

Wow Danae. Prayers and thoughts and hugs and tears for you. There are no words. Thank you for sharing… But it’s a part of your awesome story. I can’t wait to see where it takes you from here.

Thank you for your sweet words, Caroline. I needed to read it again, myself! I find myself slipping into those old thoughts and old ways of negativity and it can be hard… I know! I still don’t want to be an adult… thinking of you as you go through life’s transitions.

I remember reading this post last year and at the time it didnt really apply to my life. But after living through this past year, reading the same post again really hit home and touched my heart. I’m 29 years old and this past September we unexpectedly lost our twin girls at 22 weeks. With a birthday just around the corner – my 30th – it has felt so scary these past few months. Not because of getting older but because what should’ve been here with me as I celebrate a milestone will never be. This post today came to me when I needed to hear it most and I just wanted to say thank you. Despite all the pain we’ve experienced these last few months it’s helpful to be reminded that these painful times are preparing us for growth and the better times ahead.

I hate to admit it but I found turning 31 a tad difficult (shame on me). 2 years ago we swapped England for Canada and everything seems so much more difficult than the school/Uni years, you post has inspired me to start looking for the positives in things. We are this a great adventure with each other and with 1child and another on the way, I have so much to be grateful for. Anyway I’m going on – thank you x

I turned the big 3-0 this year, and it was funny…I didn’t feel old at all until someone said “so you’re like a legit GROWNUP now, huh?” I am sure the look on my face was priceless, lol. I especially loved the parts where you talk about your husband, and how he puts up with the craziness. I have been with my husband since I was nineteen, and he has put up with more than his fair share of insanity…somehow he loves me anyway…

Love your blog, love your writing style – I will continue to visit and read!
