My Next 30 Years

Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you get to eat chocolate cake for breakfast?? And then comes along the worry of braces and training bras, boys and sororities, and then one day you wake up and BAM!! you're an adult.

Being an adult? Totally overrated....and once you get past the braces, the bras, and the boys...responsibility comes along. It can't be avoided. We are made to face it every day of our lives and if we don't, then you can rest assured that someone else will make you face it or you can suffer the consequences.

Being an adult is responsibility. We have to be places and do things like earn a living and pay bills. It kind of makes the bike and chocolate cake look REALLY good.

But just like I appreciated my last 30 years, I look forward to being an adult and what all of this responsibility is going to do in my life. Maybe one day I'll wake up and eat chocolate cake for breakfast just for the heck of it! :)

So for now, I kick back with a glass of wine as I listen to some good 'ole faithful Tim and reflect on the past, present, and future.....here's to my next 30 years!!


My Next 30 Years
Tim McGraw

I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next 30 years

Hey my next 30 years I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next 30 years

My next 30 years I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here
In my next 30 years

Oh my next 30 years, I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next 30 years

My next 30 years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife (or husband in my case!!)
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, In my next 30 years
