Tonight's my last night being in my thirties. In less than 2 hours' time, when the clock strikes twelve, I would be stepping into the big 40.
I have no fears of growing old. Well, at least, not that fearful or apprehensive. I just feel a tinge of poignancy and can't help being a little melodramatic about leaving behind my thirties and waking up in an entirely new phase of my life.
Throughout my thirties, I have, first and foremost, my Lord Almighty to thank for. He has been a constant force in my life. He has borne me on His shoulders through many trials and tribulations.
As always, my parents have been my pillars of strength. They have supported me incessantly and have dispensed invaluable advice. They are my role models, whom I love with all my heart and am eternally indebted to.
This third decade of my life has also brought me bliss in the form of my husband. I met Derrick and married him. He has taught me a lot, made me a stronger person and has shown me that I am capable of all these and more. Merci beaucoup, mon amour.
I have been fortunate enough to have a host of good friends, who have shared my ups and downs. They have proven over and over again that they can, and will, stand by me.
Therefore, when I am so richly blessed, what have I to fear? Goodbye, my thirties! You have been an awesome part of my life. It is now time to move on. Forties...bring them on!!!
