Earlier this month I turned 39!! (Pause....I just have to let that number sync in for a moment.…LOL!) Its crazy how fast this past year has come
and gone and here I am again. I don't think its really sunk in that I am one year away from 40 years old. And, I am not sure how I should feel about being 39. I don't "feel" old or anything, but to be honest, I am not sure what I was hoping to "feel" like. Ha!
Life at 39 is kind of what I imagined (amazing family and friends, married, nice home, great job, etc.), but it also looks a lot different than I ever pictured either.
I thought it would be fun to make a short Bucket List for 39, in hopes that this would help me go into my 40s with momentum and the feeling of accomplishment.
