Almost the next decade...

So my wife decided to go on and turn 30 today. ... I was a little shocked at her eagerness and nonchalance to take it on. What a woman. No crying, no complaining, no worrying about her figure or looks. Of course, why should she? People still think she's 20!

But for me, the idea of moving on into the next decade puts me slightly off, or quietly terrifies me. I've always thought of myself as a youthful, carefree guy, and I'm really annoyed at the fact that already my body doesn't obey all my instructions and gets more tired more quickly when I train.

My other half just seems so happy to go on into life. I'm the one being foolish and unrealistic.

And when I think about it, our twenties were about learning. Our thirties will be about doing. So that's excited.

She also reminded me of something really important yesterday. "When we reach heaven, we'll be young forever!" Of course, our life's so short, but it is a preparation for something far longer and much more exciting. So we can live this life to the fullest knowing that it does not end with our decay.

Happy Birthday my sweet darling!
