Today is my 26th birthday! I don’t know where the time from 18 to 26 has gone but it has FLOWN by! I was a little sad this morning thinking that I am now closer to 30 than 20! I read an article today that was titled 53 Things That Get Better With Age…here were the top 10:
1. Wisdom: Sure, it's a little fortune cookie-ish, but consider this: You can acquire knowledge from a book, but only by living can you acquire wisdom
2. Life stories: The longer you live, the more stories you have and the richer they become.
3. Body image: You finally start appreciating the body you have
4. Self-awareness: You become more attuned to both your mind and body. (The good and the bad!)
5. Patience: You've learned that all good things come with time. So what's the hurry?
6. Self-esteem: The longer you live, the more things you accomplish (big and small) and the more you have to be proud of.
7. Common sense: It keeps developing as you survive the dares and risks you take throughout life.
8. Admiration: Not only do you admire the accomplishments of others, you also garner their admiration.
9. Humor: Your sense of humor gets better with age. And what's a long life without a lot of good laughs?
10. Family: Families continue to grow with every generation, bringing in new members and extending the family line.
I am going to embrace this new year in my life and appreciate the qualities in myself that get better with age. Bring it on 2-6, let’s make it the best year yet!
