“And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”
-Abraham Lincoln
This was a really low key birthday. I had lunch with a friend. Took a nap. Connected with a few family and friends. That's it. I loved it.
I wrote in my last post that I am looking forward to turning 30 and entering that decade of life. I want to enter it with class. So I am making a few commitments to myself about how I want to spend this final year of my 20's. I am not going enumerate a lot of things, because I haven't worked out all the details. I just know I want to enter the next decade more healthy: emotionally, spiritually, physically, and interpersonally.
I do have a couple of projects I want to work on completing by my next birthday. They are:
30 Photos of Promise
This project will be one where I will take pictures of moments, people, or things that are an "indication of what may be expected (promise - dictionary.com)" in my years to come.
30 Poems for 30 Years
This is pretty self explanatory. I am not sure if they should all have a common theme yet. I'll update if I decide to make this more thematic. More so, it gives me a reasonable accountability for continuing to create in this way.
30 Prayers for 30 People
Throughout the year (30x), I am going to commit to pray very intentionally for a person every day for a week. These 30 may be people I already know or encounters that I may have with random people throughout the year.
I am keeping this post short and sweet. So here's to infusing life into this year!
