It's that day again.
The anniversary of my birth.
Two years ago, when I turned 30, I debuted a mission statement for my 30's.
It was: Digging Deeper!
(My friends even through me a Digging Deeper birthday party, including a shovel to dig with.)
Essentially, it means that I plan to spend more time doing things thoroughly, and less time trying to be perfect at everything. Two years in and I think I'm coming up wanting. It's hard to kick the habit of overachieving. Or is it overcomplicating? Overwhelming? Overthinking?
I think I'm doing okay though. I've cut out some of the things that weren't a major part of my life. True, I've added a few new things in too, but we won't go there...
Life isn't perfect, but I love it anyway. I don't mind being 32. I hope I can say that when I turn 42, 52 and beyond. Each day, each year brings new challenges. It also brings new blessings, and new opportunities.
Life goes on.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I just think that you are so wonderful! Perhaps even overwonderful. ;) Have the best year!
Kim! I didn't know it was your bday this month. Happy (belated) Birthday!
I'm sad we cancelled out girls night out - we could have had them sing you happy birthday and give you a free dessert. It would have been good timing, plus I love free things.
I signed up for WIFYR this year. Are you going to go?
