April 28, 1975 to Present

We are 25% through a year that is halfway through a new decade, in a new century and new millennium...

I remember when I used to think 30 was old.

I remember 10 years ago, I used to watch this TV show thirty-something thinking how much I could NOT relate to their lives at all.

Now...thinking back on that TV show...
I still can't relate.

I remember being a freshman in college like it was yesterday.
It was so easy in those days to find others born in 1975.
It wasn't a big deal, or a major topic of conversation...it just WAS.
Now if you find another one, it becomes an instant connection.
A MOMENT if you will...
You understand their journey a little bit better and for some reason they understand yours. You pray that they are
comfortable
with their directions and decisions and progress and purpose.
No regrets. Never regret.
You're still too young for that.
There is still so much TIME to turn anything around that may appear backwards in the mirror.

It's nice to be able to reminisce from time to time with my girls,
my crew, my peeps
and talk about college 12 years ago or high school in the "80's".
It sounds like a long time ago, but it still feels like yesterday.
Keeping friendships is a good thing.
It reminds me that it happened.
It reminds me of how far we've all come.
It reminds me that it is Ok...
to turn thirty today.
