This is inspired by a text I sent to Rob this morning wherein I wondered if eating a Pop Tart solely in order to get something in my stomach before taking medicine was the best choice I’ve ever made…(it wasn’t, in case you were wondering).

When I’m 33, I’ll make better choices.
I’ll be kinder to myself.
I’ll forgive myself and others quickly and easily.
I’ll allow myself to heal by letting go of the past.
I’ll indulge more in that which brings me joy.
I’ll learn all the things I ache to learn.
When I’m 33, it’ll be okay to be me and to do what I do.
When I’m 33, I’ll stop confusing “taking care of myself” with “frivolity”.
I’ll stop making excuses for not following my dreams.
I’ll stop apologizing so much.
I’ll stop saying “It’s okay” when it’s not.
I’ll have my own back for once.
When I’m 33, I’ll make myself a priority.
When I’m 33, I’ll be much more responsible.
I’ll pay off my debt and save more money.
I’ll only eat healthy foods.
I’ll stop working harder and start working smarter.
I’ll finish my book and get it published.
I’ll spend more time in the kitchen and less time in front of the TV.
I’ll find balance in all areas of my life.
When I’m 33 I’ll truly be a grown-up.
But for now I’m still 32.
So for dinner I’ll have a bowl of shells and cheese because they’re delicious.
This weekend I’ll do whatever floats my boat because “it’s my birthday weekend” and that’s a completely valid excuse.
And because I have an indulgent and wonderful husband.
And because, after all, I’m still only 32.
33 starts Monday.
It’s my birthday weekend is totally a valid excuse.
But girl, I can’t wait to see what 33 holds for you. xoxoxo
I love this list of transformation. Great life goals! Enjoy being 32 and 33. Growing up is for old cranks. Let’s stay young at heart for as long as we can.
Your birthday weekend… well it’s yours to do what you want with! Eat.. sleep… play… whatever makes you happy!
It sounds like 33 will be pretty good though! I hope that you have a wonderful birthday!
Indulge away! You have two days left of being 32. Do it up!!
ANYTHING goes on birthday weekends. Heck, make it a birthday week!!
I love this. Also? Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t follow the list exactly. (Do as I say, not as I do.)
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Enjoy every minute of YOUR day today.
Enjoy your wonderful week and the year that follows!
Enjoy your weekend! And love your to-dos for 33!
When were you 33? Do we share the same birthday week?
Those are respectable goals, but here’s what I say being, ahem, a few years older than 33.
Give yourself room and space. Don’t kill yourself to make the list. As long as you’re living your life honorably and as gloriously as you can manage, than you’ll live a good life. Happy birthday.
Hey lady. I know you haven’t posted any recipes lately but I would love to feature a new one of yours on my blog whenever you are ready to do one. Let me know : )
I nodded along with every piece of this.
Hugs and happy birthday weekending.
Here’s to 2013 being the year we learn to love ourselves and treat ourselves as well as we treat others <3
