B-Day's Got Me Thinkin'

So I'll be firmly in my mid-20's this week, no going back to the carefree teen years. But the inevitable birthday has got me thinking how blessed I am at this point. I have such a wonderful support system w/ my s.o., best friend moving here, etc. I'm grateful, but I'm also thinking, what am I doing w/ my life and what's holding me back from living to the fullest?

One of my college alumnae held a workshop on life planning. It was fantastic. But there was one thing she said that struck a chord with me. "If you're not enjoying yourself, get the hell out of there". Strong but wise words from a spunky woman in her 40's.

So what do I want this birthday? ? ?

A career change - have to work for that myself

pretty, but more importantly, artistic and interesting vases:

Something from the Buccellati Classica collection or museum quality pieces (price, I don't know, thousands upon thousands?)

Trip To A Country I Haven't Touched (mom? no, jk!)

Ok, ok, so I may not get anything on this list except that first thing, but maybe one day I'll get some art pieces. :( I guess it's good to somewhat dream.

Other than that, not really anything I want or need. Yay?
