So,
in exactly one month I will be 39 years old and then after that the countdown
begins to 40!!
So,
how do I feel? I’m not sure!
I
have so many emotions…let’s start with the good stuff.
I
am thankful to be celebrating another birthday and overall I seem pretty
healthy. I could stand to lose a pound or two or 100 but I digress.
Overall
my family is good…my dad’s process is going and I have faith he will be 100%
sooner than later. My mom is still super awesome so that makes me happy.
A
great friend stepped in and is helping me plan (I should say she is planning
it) a fun birthday weekend because I wanted to do something more than just
dinner since it is my last year in my 30’s…insert dramatic music.
That
all sounds great right so why is that pesky feeling still there…what feeling
you ask…the why me feeling, why is my life not as I planned it. In case you
forgot click here http://iamalmost40nowwhat.blogspot.com/2015/07/this-was-not-plan.html
My
life was planned out perfectly yet here I am:
·
No prospects
·
No dates
·
Date dresses going to waste
·
No Husband
·
No kid (s)
·
Job (could be better)
So,
I think I need a Plan B!
The
reality is some of this may never happen, it can and I’m not giving up hope but
I can’t or at least I don’t want to continue living my life waiting for it to
happen. I’m living but I’m not really living because I am waiting on all of the
above. And this just can’t be living…can it?
So,
here is my new plan…I want to try and learn how to be content with where I am
and what I have in every aspect of my life.
Being
comfortable in my size 14/16…not saying I will not try to lose weight but I
want to learn to love the body I have because it has been here for a while LOL!
Stop
buying “date dresses” just buy a dress and wear it when I feel like and if/when
I get a date I can definitely do a repeat.
Start
taking myself out on dates...put on my date dress and go out. I’m fun so I can
have fun by myself.
And
even if I do get a date (s) just enjoy it don’t try and make him my husband if
it is meant to be it will be.
Get
serious about my job search…I know for sure what I don’t want to do and I have
a pretty good idea of what I want to do. So, just start applying and keep
applying until it happens.
Last
but not least…I want to be a mother I always have but realistically it may not
happen the traditional route (yes, I read the reports about Janet Jackson but I’m
living in reality here) so I need to prepare myself, my house, and my finances
for adoption. Make myself understand it doesn’t matter how I become a mother as
long as I become one.
In
my usual transparent way let me say I am 150% sure I will have some woe is me moments and I
will probably still pick up a dress that I deem a date dress BUT the point is I
am working on it.
I
have my list of goals and now I have put it out into the universe so someone
will hold me accountable!
This
journey to 40 is one I am kind of enjoying...I am learning a lot about
myself good and bad. I hope as I continue on this journey I will continue to grow and be great.
I have a Destiny that God has planned out for me I just have to let him do it. Easier said than done :)!
Tina Campbell’s song Destiny sums it all up for me...take a listen Destiny by Tina CampbellI have a Destiny that God has planned out for me I just have to let him do it. Easier said than done :)!
Watch
out 40 I am coming for you!
Signed,
Almost
40
