as i turned 34 this past weekend, i have to say that it was the first birthday i wasn't that excited about. i have always
loved the saying
"how old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?"... but for whatever reason, there was just something about the actual 'number'
34 that wasn't resonating with me.
i mentioned this to
Mark & without a skip of a beat he said, "Ksen, 34 is going to be an awesome year... it HAS to be!
after all, it's my FAVORITE number."
& just like that, my endlessly optimistic husband made me feel better.
his simple words made me stop and think about what
really matters & how to look at things a bit differently. it also made me think about
our wedding day (
which was almost 5 months ago!) & how quickly time flies.
i don't want to waste anytime not living fully!!! or worried about trivial things such as a silly 'number'...
& i
definitely want to make the conscious effort daily to feel grateful for ALL i have been blessed with.
because i am,,,
so very grateful.
our wedding day was not the completion of a commitment - it was
the very start....and now a daily reminder of what it means to pursue each other's heart & to
always guide each other toward the never-ending, unbreaking LOVE of God... as He will love us perfectly,
endlessly.
