Its my birthday and I will cry if I want to. Yep, I'm turning 38 today and I'm just not happy about it. I don't know if its because I'm creeping up on the big 4-0. Or if its about the fact that my 40 before 40 list has gone to the wayside. Then again, it could be that lately I've been feeling rather stuck. Whatever the reason, I'm not keen on my birthday this year. I thought posting a birthday wish list would cheer me up, but it didn't.
Normally, I'm cool with getting older. Except, I was brushing my hair the other day and noticed a few grey strands mixed in with my chocolate brown hair - the horror! So, I quickly yanked them out and have been checking my hair ever since. The crazy thing is that I always said I would embrace my grey hairs - what happened?!
Oh, and did I mention that my anxiety has gotten worse. It has. I'm getting worked up over the most inane things - its seriously bothering me.
So, to kick off turning 38, I've decided to turn to a book:
What do you think? I thought it sounded like something I needed to read ASAP. A book that will inspire and motivate me - two things I seriously need right now. So, fingers crossed it helps. And just in case, I have backup:
I watched Strayed on Oprah's
Super Soul Sunday talking about this book of quotes and realized I needed it in my life. So, I definitely plan on dipping in and out of this one starting...NOW!
Let me know if you've read either book and what you thought of it. Do you think they'll help get me out of my ruttish state of mind? Here's to hoping they will. And now I'm off to read,
You Are A Badass. Happy reading!!
