Really perfect to be by the beach while finishing a book except I&#8217;m nowhere near but the bed, so I took a short nap. Too short I woke up with thoughts racing my head again. I&#8217;m just going to say it out loud then &#8212; I&#8217;m turning thiiiiiiiirty one. That should be in bold capital letters. <strong>T-H-I-R-T-Y-O-N-E<\/strong>. Haha. Yes, 31. Next month. Unbelievable. It feels like I just turned 20-ish. And next thing I asked myself was &#8212; <em>what great thing have I done in this world then? <\/em>I stared at the keyboard and realized I missed my lunch today. Oops again. I only had bacon and toasted bread with smoked salmon cream cheese *yum* this morning and writing on an empty stomach now is probably not a good idea. Or wait, I&#8217;m going off the subject, am I?<\/p>\n<p>Back to that question. Well, one way or another, I like to believe I have done something great, at least in my own simple ways and although I feel that I wish I could have done more before reaching at this age, I love to take it as a greater challenge every year to hammer my way and make a difference, no matter how small.\u00a0<strong><em> I don&#8217;t have a big house or a really fat bank account or whatnot. But I feel more fulfilled because I&#8217;ve traveled, captured stories and marveled more at life, more than anything else. *grin*<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And I don&#8217;t feel like stopping any sooner.
