Just another day, another year, yet a new decade!

okay so tomorrow will be my birthday; however, it feels like just another day. I will only be twenty, so the only thing that will change is not being able to blame everything I do wrong, on just being a young teenager. However, I am approaching twenty as a new decade, and really long journey of new beginnings and some endings. I now am realizing what my parents are saying when they tell me, " gosh, you are growing up." But here is the truth behind it all, growing up is kind of scary. I mean to me, I look back at who I once was and it seems as if that was all I could wish for, to simply grow up, and now that the real world is in front of me I am petrified. I remember my first day of college two years ago, I went to Tennessee Tech. It was August 29,2005 and my English 101 teacher welcomed me and the rest of the class, by stating, "welcome to the real world, now you will understand that life was sweet and carefree at seventeen." Most people would think gosh what a terrible thing to say, I look back now and think wow how true! So my blog today represents age, although it seems like as women we have this fear of what decade approaches us next, perhaps we can learn to just go with the flow. Be content, by not knowing what always lies ahead, and instead what lies within us, who we are, who we spend our time with, and those that we love. Each day is a gift from God. That sounds funny coming from me because I am no where near appreciative enough for all the days he has given me, but just for tomorrow I hope to wake up and say, "thank you God for the past 365 days that you gave me."
