30 Lists...

It appears that my 30th birthday is rapidly approaching. I've recently realized that I have just under six months left in my twenties. In my eyes, thirty is quite a milestone and I want to honor it as such.

I've been doing the 365 day photo challenge and I'm really happy with the way it's encouraging me to document many aspects of my year. But the other day {perhaps during one of those rare moments when I feel like I don't have anything to do} I decided I'd make 30 lists of thirty things between now and the time I turn 30. I like the idea of these lists because 1) I will really be able to document who I am and what my interests are right now, at 29. And 2) it's a poignant illustration of how, yes, thirty is a lot, but also not very much. It's important for me to realize and conceptualize both sides of that thirty year coin before I go thinking that I've seen it all, and also before I go thinking that my life is on it's downward slope.

I already have a list with most of the lists I will be writing over the next 5 1/2 months. I'll be posting my first list on Saturday, 30 Things I Love About Maya, in honor of the birthday girl!

See you tomorrow for Realities & Blessings! {warning: I may be awful sappy about Maya turning the big O1!}
