(that bugged me) when I was thirty\u2026i was often told you look so young. (i kinda liked that) when I turned forty\u2026I still felt\/looked quite young (for 40) (i REALLY liked that) somewhere after that, life caught up \u2026.  I\u2019ve had some resistance to aging\u2026. yet\u2026. all of me\u2026. has lived\u2026all of this\u2026. and I\u2019m still showing up\u2026. A few years into my forties\u2026.a lot happened. My son discovered alcohol, then drugs. that was the beginning of 11+ years of fear and turmoil\u2026. then came the big C John was diagnosed with Leukaemia\u2026. and who knew \u2026 6 years later\u2026. we\u2019d still be trying to figure his illness out. I\u2019ve been feeling some pretty intense birthday blues. \u2018is this where I thought I\u2019d be?\u2019 &amp;nbsp; \u2018i had so many goals\u2026. then life came along with its own plan.\u2019 If it was up to \u2018my plan\u2019\u2026. things would have been so different. but that\u2019s not the way it goes. As I write this and ponder that\u2026. I realize\u2026 I\u2019m probably not alone\u2026. we imagine one life\u2026 and it becomes a whole other. The real work is how we decided to \u2018think about it.\u2019 it is a choice. This morning\u2026 my tummy was a little flippy\u2026 I don\u2019t have anxiety but I felt tears bubbling up. Thinking how things should be a certain way at this stage. (and they're not) I could get super raw and tell you the ways\u2026but I don\u2019t think I need to. &amp;nbsp; Wherever you are on this journey\u2026. lean in\u2026. cause this is happening\u2026. You've got this. We\u2019ve got this. &amp;nbsp; A whole ton of love to each of you that follows along. xxx Kim p.s.&amp;nbsp; I share this because my \u2018cure\u2019 for the birthday blues is to do 51 tiny good things (for the people in my life)\u2026.before this day ends. I\u2019m on #7\u2026.so I best get busy. &amp;nbsp; full show notes here:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/kimklassen.com\/51-tiny-good-things\/ ","author_name":"WRITE life podcast with Kim Klassen","author_url":"https:\/\/www.kimklassen.com\/kimklassenpodcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/9592901\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/9592901"}
