Goals

It came to my realization the other day as I was running, that I was nearing 30. Although at that very moment I couldn't remember exactly how old I was turning, was it 25 or 26?? It actually stopped me in my tracks when I realized it was 26. I know that isn't very old, but it made me realize all the grand plans I had for myself and only few has panned out. Don't get me wrong, i have accomplished a lot in my short 25.5 years, but I also want much more out of life. In 4 years, 6 months and 18 days I will turn 30. That my friends is a pretty big milestone, and I intend on reaching it with a few more goals under my belt. I am going to start a list of goals with the intent on reaching them before I turn 30. I think 30 is a great age to start a family, and though it may happen before I reach 30, my goal is to start at 30.
