28

Today I celebrate my 28th Birthday!

And as I wax nostalgic over the many
fond memories I've gathered over the years, I can't help
but think about all my life has become.

Just like many of you, I feel blessed to live the life
I lead. I'm so grateful for the family I grew up in,
the experiences I've had, the people that have enriched my
life along the way, and the trials that I've had.
I'm grateful to know who I am, where I'm going, and
from whom all my blessings stem. I'm grateful for the
little family I have now, and all the
happiness the future is yet to bring.

I guess all this sentiment stems from one song
I like to listen to over and over.
It's called "Rite of Spring", by Angels & Airwaves.
I wouldn't say these guys are deep,
but they're definitely on to something.

If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing,
It's made me all who I am inside.
And if I could thank God that I am here and that I am alive,
And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie,
The whole wide world is mine...

The summer's gone, the years have passed.
My friends have changed, a few did last.
The smallest dreams got pushed aside,
The largest ones, they changed my life.
All I've wished for has come to pass,
From Rock 'n Roll, to love, and cash
It's all success if it's what you need,
Do what you like and do it honestly,

If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing,
It's made me all who I am inside.
And if I could thank God that I am here and that I am alive
And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie,
The whole wide world is mine...

I'm proud of what I've accomplished these
28 years.I've worked hard. And if I keep believing
the whole wide world is mine, I might just look
back on the next 28 years with as much pride
and accomplishment!
