This month marked the 27th year of my birth. Yay! When the day inched closer, I entered into a state of funk (depression). It was inevitable that I turn another year older, yet somehow, I plotted a million ways to stop my birthday from happening. It’s impossible. It’s going to happen. It happened. It actually happened. Because it was supposed to happen, because it was meant to happen.
And…
It’s no big deal.
It’s not so bad being 27. It’s a good thing. A wonderful thing, actually, to live another year.
Here’s a list of 27 things I’m thankful for that have made my life that much better.
