J-emine's reflexionando

Part of our daily, random texts this morning – I said to my dearest E.

‘ I’m so proud of myself today’

For taking that huge step forward, for being firm and showing him (or rather me) – enough is enough.

And since it’s kinda my day – I shall remind myself, why’s that so and add on the list.

2. With all the events that’s been unfolding, the universe sure has a way of saying to me -you are truly in the right place, working for and with the right people

3. For making the decision last month on Cornell – despite the huge draw of the program and being back in NY would be great – I like my current lifestyle and don’t wish to compromise on that

4. For healthy, jovial and wonderful parents – and to more adventures and fun with them

5. For the close group of friends-family that’s stayed near and dear, and allowed our bond to strengthen over the years

6. For going down the rabbit hole (one too many times), for the insecurities, for all the mistakes and self -criticism. Above all, the ability to emerge stronger and more in-tune with the beat of my life’s directives

7. For health

8. For being happy with.. me

Lovely dinner with the family and friends tonight. We had 4 bottles of wine from Tasmania that were great compliments against Dad’s home cooked food. Tummy is full from all the goodness and laughters.

I like turning 37, more so than being 27 year old. I’m stronger, grounded and have a better sense of self-worth in dealing with all that life throws my way.

So yes, 37 – I’m ready for you. Bring it on!
