You mean that's it??
With little fanfare, my 20's slipped away with a hot bath and a glass of wine.
I guess they are as ready for me to pass this new milestone as I am, but I will miss them. They have been with me these last 10 years like a comfortable pair of shoes that are worn thin and are uncomfortable at times, but you just don't want to give them up. Especially since we have been through so much together.
In my 20's I did all of the following:
1. Met and married my son's father.
2. Had a beautiful son.
3. Started a sucessful business.
4. Had a military career that let me put bombs on F-16 fighter planes. (scary, huh?)
5. Went to Europe and traveled through several countries alone without any problems.
6. Went to Australia.
7. Stopped wasting my mom's money at college.
8. Went to my High School reunion and realized that your friend's battles should not always be your battles and that alot of shit really was stupid.
9. Loved and lost friends, but also found some truer ones along the way.
10. Had alot of stupid fun.
It was not all sunshine and roses, in fact some of it sucked pretty damn hard, but all of it has made me what and how I am today - and that would be a cranky old woman..hehe. No really, it has made me a very strong and patient person who realizes that slow and steady is usually the best way to go and not just be a brief flare of a imploding star in a hurry to get out of here.
I think I am ready to be the mature person that is expected of me now - just don't remind me of that fact on Girl's Night Out after a couple of bottles of wine.
