So, yesterday was my hubby's 30th birthday..hence the title. I asked him if he felt any older, which is what we all tend to do even though we know the answer. He told me "no older than a day ago". Which was the answer I expected. I don't know if in one instant, I felt for him the years slipping by as they are for me, or I just felt some sort of nostalgia of days past by me in a flash that I didn't take the time to appreciate. I know he doesn't, but I can't help to think of all the days that go by that I don't just soak up the moment. No, my teenage years were not the greatest, but they were definitely better than some of the years in my 20's. There are lots of things I would've done better, different, kinder, not so fast, etc.. But wouldn't we all? But if I had the chance to do it, would I? If I did, then I probably wouldn't have the husband that I do or my wonderful son. I wouldn't have learned how cruel or nice people can be. I wouldn't have known that I do need to sit back and soak up all that I can from everyday that I am blessed enough to be part of. So, I raise my glass to today and to today I toast "Learn from the past, live in the present, look for the future".
