We are turning twenty-six this Saturday.  I’m so grateful for each and every single day.  I am grateful for my family, my health, and the opportunity and means to pursue dreams.  Here are some other thoughts about turning one year older…

• I have a significant amount of white hairs on my head.  This is due to both genetics and stress.  Sort of wondering how twenty-six will look?
• I’m young and I’ve done a lot: professionally, personally.  I think everything can only get better.  I have so many unopened and waiting doors for me.  I know it!
• I still get carded.
• I’m getting older and so are my family members!  My mom, my grandparents.  My little sister! Hold on, hold on!
• Twenty-six years old was my gram’s ‘age’ no matter what.  I miss you Gram.  I promise to live this beautiful life for you.  I hope you know that I have never forgotten you.  Lately I’ve seen pictures of myself and think that I look just like you.

And for my actual birthday? I’m excited to eat a cupcake.  Can’t imagine of welcoming this new year without my favorite treat!
