Today I turn 27. Jeff told me last night that 27 means I'm now in my late twenties. To his credit he also said that's a pretty cool place to be - that there's this sense of found identity along with still being in the twenties and having fun. Thanks Jeff.
Now I'm glad that at 27 Jeff's found some sort of identity because I'm not sure I fit into that part of the "late 20s" category. Don't get me wrong - I certainly understand myself better than I did 5 years or even a year ago - and I think there' s perhaps part of me that's caught up in an understanding that this process of discovery never ends. So perhaps I really do fit in my late 20s and I'm getting too technical!
But if the rest of year 28 (as Sheralee reminded me I'm beginning - not year 27) feels anything like today has so far - I'm in! Let's go! Last night was a beautiful celebration with friends at our place and I'm really in a happy place this morning! So here's to the next year. May it be beautiful, fabulous, filled with friends, laughter, love, wine, Jesus, and increasing amounts of living in reality.
