Normally I wouldn't consider going 35 to be speeding, unless of course, you're in a construction zone, but when your age is the same as the in-town speed limit, it's puts a new perspective on things. Yes, it's my birthday!
I've always tried to appreciate everything I had and be grateful for the moment. The exception would be the 5 years I lived out of state. There was nothing I wanted more than to get back to good ole' SC and put down some roots. But being married to a Navy boy and subsequently a college boy, made that difficult. Eventually we made our way back to the South and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon...
In my 35 years I feel like I've been through a lot and been able to experience a lot. I only have 1 regret and that was something I did NOT do, rather than something I did.
Life is good these days. As you probably know, we have been in our dream house for almost a year. At times it seemed like that day would never come, but here we are. On many occasions I look around and think how blessed I am to have this.
And while Savannah knows how to test my patience like no other, she is healthy and smart and has a big future ahead of her. If I could just get her to listen to me....
Steve is gone more lately than he is home, but his world travels pay for our home and will allow me to not go back to work next year. I'm looking forward to that! It's also nice to be able to join him
occasionally, like I will soon in Rome! He drives me nuts, sometimes, too, but we're still together after almost 13 years.
We have our health and that's something many of our friends and family don't have. Oh some days, we moan and groan like a bunch of old people, but it's nothing compared to the battles some people are facing like multiple
bouts of cancer.
So, for now I'm happy to be "driving" the speed limit. Just wish I could do it in a
convertible....
