THE AGING FRENZY

Life is like a never ending television series that you've all of a sudden become hooked too (Charmed lol). There's the good, the bad, the boring, the mediocre and so on. And even though you can predict what's next, you still find yourself just as astonished when it happens (talk about stressful!). Here's a little kick! As long as you are granted another day, stay tuned in! DO NOT LET LIFE BURN YOU OUT!

Naturally, we expect life to improve as we grow older in age. You would think that the more you learn, the better it becomes; but if you're like me (HARD HEADED), it takes more than just one lesson on the same topic to get it through your head. I will be 26 next month and when I say I am in a frenzy, that would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. I don't know what I thought 26 would look like as a child; I wasn't into the aging thing back then (not much has changed lol). But I know that I didn't expect it to be this! My life has been filled with a bunch of bad decisions that I could have went without. Thankfully, Romans 8:28 states “And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

How amazing is it to know that we serve a God who loves us no matter what; that any mistake we make can be a blessing in disguise! Like the old folks say, when life give you lemons, make lemonade :)

So in order to calm my nerves, I've decided to create a "Before/During/After 26 bucket list: LIVING MY BEST LIFE". Here are a few MUST DO'S on my list!

1. Its always soothing to not only have a plan, but to see it all the way through . I have a REALLY hard time following directions lbs (even my own!). I will have created a outline of something specific for me to do and actually complete it .

2. TAKE A TRIP! . I am the oldest 26 year old you'd ever meet . I will have vacationed somewhere this year WITHOUT my children (anxiety just thinking about it lol)

3. FIND MY NITCH ! . I refuse to believe that I am bad at everything (though my track record says other wise lol). At 26 I will find something that I'm great at , that I enjoy and that has a great turn around for me .

Now you may have done all of these on my list, everyone is different. When you are in a frenzy about getting old (because I am!!), find some things you want to accomplish, put together a "Before ___ Bucket List" and get going! Nothing makes you feel better than achieving something you sought out personally!
