32 Years Young and Aging

I'm getting younger everyday! I swear I feel it! I think eating Paleo is having great affects on my aging body and mind. I feel younger. Maybe it's the weight and inches loss, either way I am feeling super duper! I can honestly say I feel prettier; is prettier even a word? As my big 32nd birthday is just 3 days away, I need all the positive kickstands I can get to keep my ole body upright!  But in all seriousness, I can say I don't feel 32. I wasn't sure what 32 what supposed to feel like but so far it's great. Bring it on! Here are some life lessons/realizations I have come to in my short but sweet 32 years:
  1. Navy Blue is not a color for just old ladies. It is very flattering and soooo the new black!
  2. Friends will come into your life for a REASON, SEASON or a LIFETIME...when their time is up, get over it and move on.
  3. Natural childbirth is amazing! Painful but amazing..I highly recommend it! God made women strong for a reason!
  4. Have compassion for people and animals.
  5. Cry. Sometimes all I need is a good cry.
  6. Pray. I pray twice a night. Once with my sweet son Mason and then again when I go to sleep. I honestly believe that my prayers are heard. (not answered but definitely heard)
  7. If you honor someones life with joy you will never truly miss them. They will always be near you...and i believe that you will sense them. (love to you gpa)
  8. Music is a gift from God. It has the amazing ability to take you back to a place, time and feeling...if your not utilizing it then your missing out!
  9. Remember that the sun will always some up tomorrow. Your worries today will be minimal in days, weeks and years from now. Forget about it...your stress will only leave wrinkles!
  10. Enjoy good food and good coffee!
  11. Own one pair of fabulous jeans and a pair of good shoes.
  12. Compliment people often and show appreciation to those who work hard to make your life easy. 
  13. Start a blog, it will change your life! :)
So I hope my life realizations will make you stop and think about what is important to you today in your life. As for my current weight happiness goals (Friday's are weigh-in days) you can see I'm just trucking along. I am exactly the same with my inches as I was last week but I have shed 1.4 pounds!  Can I get a whootwhoot! As I am entering my big birthday weekend, I am already planning to eat a bit off the Paleo plan. But for my body and bowels..I will try (with the exception of maybe a slice of bday cake) to be at least gluten free! If i eat gluten, I get really sick..and it is not pretty!

Have a fantastic weekend and just because I am so powerful and popular..please everyone, take Monday February 21 off (by birthday)...just don't go to work! I have told your boss's and you will all be receiving holiday pay...in celebration of ME! Your welcome and enjoy!
