Something Nadine wrote in her last birthday post struck a chord with me. She wrote: "I look forward to 40, I have a plan to stand in the ocean as my best self and then to raise my arms to the sky and say thank you."
What a beautiful way to celebrate a milestone birthday, by looking forward and imagining what you want the next one to look like - and feel like.
I went back through some old birthday posts, and am feeling nostalgic. Five years ago I made some big decisions on my birthday, and I am so proud of me. Revisiting those memories was a good - and much needed - reminder that I can do BIG and BRAVE things.
And some years (days, months, minutes, moments) are made to be big and brave, but this year I find I am craving moments that are small and comforting. I am really struggling right now, and literally making it through the weekend feels like a huge victory.
This is 38.
