Another year older, another year wiser. That’s the saying, right?!
Today is my 26th birthday, my golden birthday. For years, I have thought how enjoyable this birthday would be. I mean, 26 on the 26th is pretty exciting. Now that this day has arrived, my thoughts are a little different than I had imagined. I’m not wanting some over-the-top celebration. In fact, what sounds best to me is simply spending time with those I love. As I’ve grown older, the things that hold importance and significance in my life have changed. The top of my list right now is cherishing moments with family and friends, making connections with new people, seeing true joy in others, and learning from life’s adventures.

I’m going to stop right here before I start getting too deep and teary eyed. So, here’s to my 26th year! Thank you all for being apart of it here on the blog. I’ll leave you with this:

Sometimes you will not know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
