for what it's worth

I'm NEARLY 31. Nearing 31. As if it were a place to get to. If it were, I imagine there'd be a bridge to cross and a person on the other side, with few teeth and stringy hair, to point me in the direction. I'd go by myself, so that no one could see my reaction when I arrived, just in case I was disappointed. Just in case it wasn't as I'd expected.

What do I expect at 31?

I expect wine. I expect a toning. A certain strengthening. Books. A's. Laughter. A deep sigh. I expect the beach. Challenges. A firmer butt. A more direct effort toward friendships. Thought. Honesty...with myself. Decisions. Family. A healthier core. Intuition. Authenticity. Sleep. Rest. Vacations. Food groups. Lessons.

I expect growth.
