Greetings! The bottom of this post is an e-mail that was sent to me this morning. It compelled a response I thought was perfect for sharing on my blog since I was asked the question…I’d like you all to know how I feel. Note that names have been adjusted to protect the paranoid (ME) as well as those for whom I associate! This post has been designed much like an e-mail correspondence and SHOULD BE READ BOTTOM UP, Beginning at the line break!!

You are too much! Thanks for the belated birthday wish.
I don’t feel thirty, but I don’t really know what thirty feels like. I don’t think I look thirty, but I don’t really know what thirty looks like. I don’t act thirty, but I don’t really know what thirty acts like but I’m sure it’s not me.
Old, decrepit….young and inspiring? Hmmm, don’t know. I felt old before thirty, when I said kids and schools these days are different from when we went. I felt decrepit before thirty when my knees on occasion ache or “act up” when I rise from a kneeling position. I felt young before thirty when one of the directors of NHMCCD’s distance learning at district mistook me for a student. I felt inspiring before I was thirty anytime I managed to be proactive on something before the last minute.
I guess I know for sure that I feel blessed, first and foremost, as I have what I assume is pretty decent health and strength, great family, great friends, a roof over my head, clothes on my back (coincidently as well as on my sofa, the back of my dining table chair, the bar stools and the foot rail of my bed…I promise though I am not a slob), and food to eat. I feel a sense of progress for the things I have managed to accomplish and feel proud of in my life. I feel incomplete as there a many things I still want to accomplish in life but haven’t and things that I believe I am expected to accomplish but have yet to figure out what those things are. I feel curious as I don’t know what the future holds but I feel excited because it can be an interesting ride I might not have ever imagined taking. I feel like I’m missing out as there are things that others have that I want but I feel foolish for in that instance not remembering that envy is not good and that God will supply in due time.
What should I feel?……Everything…..but what I also know is I am a year older and the chapter known as the twenties is closed.
Thanks again,

Good Morning Sunshine!! How is your first day after being THIRTY????
Do you feel old and Decrepit or Young and Inspiring??
I can not find your blog. I have been looking for it since last night. I thought it was thirtytilthirty.com or some form of the words but I have tried spelling it out I have tried substituting the numbers I have tried until and to and I have gotten some one else’s blog that has a large picture of her in blue suede shoes. I don’t know. So I have not wished your wells on your sight because I can not get to it. I did not forget though. I hope your adventures have been fun and exciting and can not wait to see the footage of your descent from the heavens.
I hope you got everything you wanted and did everything you wanted if not there is always 40 right?
See you soon,
Mindy K.
