So yeah… Today, I am 29.
29 years is a long time… and interestingly enough, most of it was spent in one form or another of school. Most of it was spent under the care of others, which led to confusion and frustration at this point in my life. Little of my life has been spent “on my own”, but at this point, I am really starting to have a real grasp for that concept… and it is starting to get better, with each step I take.
All of that aside, I see this as a step towards something better… I have heard that your thirties are the years when you really come in to your own, and I am certainly looking forward to them. I am looking forward to getting more school, another degree, and perhaps, a new career. I am doing just that, looking forward.
I am going to try and spend this year preparing for the next steps, all the while, trying to enjoy the moment. After all, enjoying the moment is something I have never been very good at, and is something that I am working on.
Here’s hoping that 29 is a good year for me.
Happy birthday buddy!

Happy birthday! I’ve been loving my thirties. You have a great atitude.
Sorry I missed the day, but happy birthday a little late Duane!
Sounds like you are making the most of your years on Earth!!!
Happy Birthday! You’ll have to let me know how 29 goes. I have this worry that it will be hard for me, knowing that 30 is looming.
Everyone has been telling me that 25 is the worst. I’m about a month and a half away from it!!! I’m thinking positive though. Hehe.
Happy birthday! Life is like wine, it gets better with age.
Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Duane. I’ve always thought that if I could pick an age to stay forever it would be 29. You’re still in your 20s but you have the maturity and experience and everything else you didn’t have in your teens or even at 25. Enjoy the year.

Yay! Happy (belated) birthday, sweetpea!
Happy Birthday Duane! Hope you had a really good one.
