New bracelet: I can do hard things

A few posts ago, I said I would make a bracelet that said committed to help me accomplish my list of goals.

I've changed my mind. I'm going with I can do hard things because I like it more. It covers more of what I am trying to do. I am trying to do hard things--

• Making time for all that I want to do in my life
• Exercising daily
• Keeping my house clean
• Working on my jewelry business
• Fulfilling church callings

And last, but not least--

• Making a bracelet that says I can do hard things

I am 35 and I am happy

I turned 35 today, and I am excited. Not jump up and down excited, just excited to be where I am and I am hopeful about the future.

I feel very grounded. Which is unexpected. Consider my current state:

• I am single and live with two cats. 
• Many of my friends are married and have children. 
• One of my best friends lives out of state, another passed away two years ago.
• My back hurts, my joints hurt--I get out of bed in the morning and I hurt. 

There was a time that I was panicked about the future and didn't think I could be happy without a husband, kids, and that stereotypical clean house on a tree-lined street.

Fortunately, age brings wisdom, and I know that life will be good. No matter what. Life has always been good, even in the dark times.

Besides, the tarot card reader at my friend Nicole's birthday party told me that I was going to meet a younger man and that my life would be exciting and never dull. And I would be happy.

Most of that is already true. Just need to find that younger man.
