Another year older and hopefully wiser

I recently celebrated my 28 birthday. It is difficult to believe that I have come this far in life. I remember just yesterday I was a much younger Becky, but how time flies. I find myself still awaiting a number of things, yet content with who I am and a mountain of experiences to lean upon. I have wondered numerous times if I have taken the best road in life. Am I where I am supposed to be? Have I journeyed more paths than were required of me? Have I answered the call to live life to the fullest? What will the next 29 years be filled with? I have hopes and dreams, but I also understand that I want the best. I recently read "The Noticer" by Andy Andrews (highly recommended by Keith). The theme of the book is "Sometimes all one needs is a change of perspective." Isn't that true? We can be overwhelmed by life and the situations that is throws at us. However, let "Jones" come by and paint a different picture and the entire outlook is different. Well, I have decided to paint my picture differently. I want to think deeper and respond slower with my words. I want to love more intensely and life life more freely.

Can't wait to see what type of artist I turn out to be...
