I’ve been so busy focusing on classes and celebrating family birthdays this month that I almost completely forgot about my own! And since I was born on Sept. 28 and am now turning 28, I’ve heard that this actually marks my “golden” birthday – the year in which the date and age match up.
Golden or not, any major celebrating beyond dinner out with my husband is going to have to be put on hold for a few weeks, since I'm swamped with classwork and just kicked off a new freelance project. But that doesn’t mean I can’t use today as a chance to reflect on the future, including the following goals – some serious, some entirely random – for my next 28 years.

ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list you have there! I hope you have a fantastic birthday and celebration - whenever you are able to calm down and celebrate!
I didn't know that a golden birthday was when your date and age match up! how cute!! That means mine golden age will be 30 - which seems fitting, since my bday is Dec. 30th!
Happy birthday!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have got some great goals for the next 28 years, some very similar to mine! I don't think I even knew about golden birthdays when I had mine though, because I was only 9 when it happened.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I love your list; I can't wait to see if it grows!
ReplyDeleteMy golden birthday is coming up in April; the 24th!
Happy birthday! I love your list of goals :) My Golden Birthday was when I was eight, so I'm pretty sure I didn't know about them back then!
