Counting Down to the Big 3-0
Jun. 8th, 2009 08:45 pmThank you very much for all the wonderful birthday greetings! The warm wishes, ecards, and beautiful birthday graphics brought big smiles onto my face :)
So this marks my final year as a 20-something. The next "decade" definitely doesn't feel as intimidating as it used to be, and looking at my life right now, it's so full of blessings that makes me believe 29 is a very good age to be. *g*
- I am more or less "settled" by definition of a single individual living in a large city full of other non-married people. The apartment I just moved into is shiny and sparkly (and shall remain so with my OCD-level obsessive cleaning of the place). I have my own place, and as a rent-stabilized apartment, it's conceivably a place I can stay in for a long time.
- I have a steady job that I love. Not many people can say this about their profession, especially during this time of massive lay-offs and economic downturn. I dove in head-first into a field I initially knew nothing about and have come to like it very much. There are tedious, hair-pulling, frustration-worthy moments, for sure. But by and large, I have really enjoyed working at and learning about the field of community and economic development.
- I enjoy and have a fun-filled outside-of-work life that still allows me to have introverting time for my own. I'm still getting used to living by myself (it's weird not to be watching TV with![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
sunnydlita during evenings and getting nervous over reality TV eliminations), but I have plenty of social activities to keep me busy :)
All in all, a very good start to a new birthday-year. Here's to hoping for a wonderful 12 months ahead!
