One step closer...


Okay, perhaps i am being a bit morbid, but when i wake up tomorrow i will be 14 days shy of my 40th birthday.


How am i handling it...okay (depending on how the wind blows). I have good days mostly, but sometime i just want to cry because of all i haven't accomplished.
I know, i must focus on all the wonderful experiences i have had and the amazing things i have done and seen.


I took this photo on Hilton Head in June.

I thought it was appropriate for two reasons...

1. It is All Hallows Eve

2. Every day is one step closer...

OK, Vick. I think it's time to talk about all you have accomplished. I'll get you started.

1) Drove cross country with a cryptic map, no hotel reservations and no cell phone as back up.
2) Moved across the country to try a new job in a new city alone.
3) Moved again, to yet another new city and new job alone.
4) Landed on your feet numerous times after your job was pulled out from under you by a bankrupt company.
5) Stayed friends with Wendy and I for over 15 years.
6) Given a good home to your animals, past and present.
7) Traveled to a foreign country.
8) Rode in a bike race.
9) Supported your husband even when he didn't deserve it.

and...

10) Stayed true to yourself.

Celebrate your birthday by buying something you don't need but really want from Coach, get a tattoo or piercing, and do something just for yourself!
