This is what 35 looks like

Photobucket
Today I turned 35.
I took myself out for brunch at one of my favorite coffee shops and after eating wrote out a list of things I appreciate about myself.
I came up with 36 things in a period of about 30 minutes.
As I was writing it was interesting to realize that some of the things have been a part of me for most of my life and some things have only recently become a part of my life.
I noticed it is easy to think of things that I want to change about myself and I do it without even concentrating, but taking time to think of things I like about myself takes effort.
I can honestly say it is worth the effort!

  3. This is wonderful! Many of the things on your list are why I think 35 is more pleasant than 25. Here's to aging beautifully!

    Happy birthday :)
