Tomorrow is my 27th birthday, so I thought it would be nice today to list 26 things that I either learned or were meaningful to me over the last year. They aren't all super serious and they are in a complete random order. I didn't necessarily just learn them over the last year of course, but they were applicable to me at 26. Here I go!
1. Family is the most important thing in my life
2. Having two dogs is better than one
3. I will never be able to vacuum all the fur in my house
4. I will never be able to get out of my house with at least a touch of fur on me
5. Running 20 miles can be easy (and incredible!)
6. Marathon training is a blast
7. Sometimes you don't get to run the race you trained for
8. There is always something to be grateful for
9. On a tough day, take a deep breath and put on a smile
10. A good walk with the dogs is the best way to start the day
11. Making healthy eating choices makes a better me
12. I'm not perfect, but better than that, I'm me
13. I am in control of my life
14. Having a house is awesome
15. Owning a house is expensive
16. Always be kinder than necessary
17. The people that help you through the tough stuff are really special people
18. Be yourself; life is much better that way
19. True love is the most beautiful thing
20. Your dogs love you no matter what
21. A good run will change your day
22. Work hard
23. Follow your passions; they are a gift
24. Tell people how thankful you are for them
25. Every day is a chance to learn something new
26. Cooking new vegan recipes is awesome
There you have it! Twenty-six things that defined my life over the last year. Here I come 27!
Which one(s) do you relate to?
Happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day :) BTW, get yourself a Roomba -- helps with the fur on the floor! I let mine run every day + I vacuum every other week. My floor isn't perfect but it cuts down on the fur tumbleweeds ;-) If year 27 clues you in on how to leave your house without fur on you, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Love your list :) It's a good reminder too to not take things for granted.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday my dear! 24 for me has been figuring out #13. I have more control than I think!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing list!! And I agree with so many - even the dog fur one and we don't even own a dog!! haha (well, we live with one because of Tyler's sister lol).
ReplyDeleteI really need to get running back in my life more often because it definitely keeps me feeling like myself. I hope you have a great last day at 26!
Oh wow I missed this one! I love it - great list.
ReplyDeleteSo many there I can relate to! #1 would be my #1 as well!
We have Norfolk Terriers, which have hair and are (supposedly) hypoallergenic and low-shedding. So we at least have a chance to keep up! When my brother brings he golden retriever she sheds more in a weekend then both our dogs do in a month!
Congrats on 27!
