So, happy birthday to me. A big thank you to all of you who called, emailed or Facebooked. Those one liners meant a lot to me and remind me that I do have a lot to be thankful for, even when I whinge a bit. I am reminded that while I may not be rich in the monetary sense (yay students loans and Discover card!), I am very rich in friends. I have people that I can friend on three different continents. People that I don't see very often but when I do, it like we had seen each other yesterday. No, I don't hear from all of you every day but that doesn't matter. To be a friend, you don't have to be in constant contact.
I regret very little in my short 26 years here on earth. About the only thing that I do regret is my inability to manage money. And I'm working on that. I have goals that can only be reached by saving money and paying down the debt that I do owe but it will be done. Just give me about 20 years in which to do it.
I don't regret what I've studied or the places I've gone because they have made me into the person that I am today. I think that I'm ok and other people seem to think so too. I've been dealt some hard knocks but I'm working on them and eventually, I'll be where I want to be in life. I don't have grand monetary goals but I would like enough money to travel often, to have a pony or two and to have a bit of land to call my own. So while in some ways, I am a far different person than who I was when I was a young, Iowa farmgirl, in other ways I haven't changed at all. I guess that my parents done raised me but good.
