Adulting: The First 10 Years

Image result for 28th birthday

Last week, I celebrated my 28th birthday.  On Monday, I went roller skating.  I only fell on my bum three times.  On Tuesday, I saw Captain Marvel.  And on Wednesday, my actual birthday, I worked.  Such is the life of an adult.
I have now had ten years of adulting experience.  I hate to say it, but I still don't know how to be an adult.  In just two years, I'll have spent about a third of life as an adult, I wouldn't be surprised if I am still as clueless as I am today.
Things have gotten easier, though.  Since moving out to Idaho, I feel that I have become a more responsible person.  I've definitely learned the value of money, that's for sure.  I used to think $5 was nothing.  Now I feel greatly humbled and blessed anytime I receive a dollar bill.
My body is starting to go.  My knee is doing some weird things and I can never seem to sleep in a position that my neck likes.  Not to mention the white hairs popping up like dandelions in my sideburns.
Overall, life is good.  I learn new things weekly, usually the hard way.  But that's just life.
