My 31st birthday is this Sunday, May 9th, Mother's day.
It was Mother's day the day I was born and it is very special that my birthday falls on Mother's day the first year that I have become a mother. It reinforces my commitment to myself, to put myself first, instead of putting everyone else and their needs ahead of mine, as is my usual modus operendi. It reminds me that I have another little person I'm living for...and that my life needs to be as long as possible for her.
I enter into the beginning of my 30's, still a relatively young woman, with a little more life experience than I had in my 20's and a lot more know how...I'm formulating a plan to meet all of my goals, as I've done my entire life. I've met or exceeded every goal that I've ever set for myself henceforth, with the exception of one goal....one elusive goal...and I will dedicate the next year of my life, putting all other things on hold, until that goal is met...
This year, is the year I very selfishly put my needs first. I have to...or there won't be a me to be selfish about.
