I’m turning 27 tomorrow. Do I feel my age? The truth is I feel older than 27. I feel I’m 30. I think it’s because I got tired of the craziness of youth early on and embraced the adult life immediately. I’ve gotten over my workaholic phase a long time ago. I’ve established a routine to keep my little household running well. I’ve gotten into the groove of my job. I’ve been managing my finances pretty fairly. However, I still have a lot to learn as I am far from mastering these things. I get tired just thinking of all the things I have yet to accomplish. Does one ever stop growing up?
My birthday wish is for me to have fun and relax. I wish that I can take hold of myself and strengthen my childlike wonder. I wish that I could lessen my being a worrywart. I wish that I could get to see life outside office windows and experience walking along the seashore once again. More than that, I wish that people around me would let go of their worldly cares and dance with the wind. It’s no fun celebrating life by myself.
So as I blow out the 27 candles on my birthday cake, I hope that I am not the only one wishing for all these to come true. I hope that you’ll blow out the candles along with me, so we can all experience this one big wish — to celebrate love, wonder, happiness, friendship, family, marriage, freedom, serenity and life together. =)
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
