Welcome to my world of birthday dreaming. In case you were curious as to what types of things I think about on my birthday, what you're about to read is a pretty accurate summary.
Today (well, wednesday, november 23, really. when i actually wrote this post) I turn 23. Birthday! Birthday diva. This morning I woke up and heard this song singing in my heart. As per birthday tradition, I feel like today is going to be a reflection of really sweet, sweet moments. And it's my deepest prayer that the Father would feel welcome to be a part of this day. I want to hear him speak over this next year of my life.
It's 6:30 a.m. and I'm traveling to denver. As always, I'm accompanied by Real Simple Magazine. Talking to the lady next to me just now, I suddenly felt deeply this desire that I have to cook for another person. I mean, cooking for me is cool, but there is something so full in taking care of others. I love to do so. It's not even that I want to be married or even dating right now, but i just have this deep desire to be hospitable. To have my own space, and to build a home. Just a thought.
Don't quote me on this, but i'm pretty sure that I'm the age of all of my childhood dreams. When I was little, it was always "23, 23, 23..." It was this age of epic beauty, in my small child, fluffy-haired mind, at least.
I don't know. Maybe it will be a year of epic beauty. Things can only get better.
I've great hope in this year and great hope in the One who breathed dreams into my chest.
I'm a creator. And i need to be creating. I decided that it's time for me to be actively doing the things That i love. Period. :)
So. Here we go.
Year 23: Brought to you by the letter F. (Seriously, though).
Feasts. Family. Florence + the Machine. Fearlessness. Freedom. Flowers. Foodie-ing. Friends. Footie-pajamas. Frankfurt? Feist. Feistiness. Forts....
This list is going to continue. But i'm telling you. It's the one.
Here's to merry, merry, merry days, my friends.
Basically yes. And be sure and drink Responsibly but not Alone.
