33

As my birthday was approaching, I decided that I really wanted to make thirty-three wishes.  I figure each year we age we should earn an extra wish.  I'm not one to make resolutions during the new year, but I think that my wishes are sort of my own version of a year long resolution for myself.  As my next birthday rolls around I can see how much I accomplish and I will look forward to an extra wish when its time to turn 34!

01 // practice patience 

02 // always be kind

03 // try to be early to appointments

04 // no diets, just healthy changes <-- slowly implementing this plan!

05 // buy a house!

06 // adventure to a new place each month [jan feb mar apr may jun jul]

07 // grow my hair (this has been a wish every year!)

08 // stop being scared to make new friends 

09 // nourish the current friendships I have [this is always a work in progress & i'm proud of myself for it]

10 // compliment and appreciate my husband more  [this one has been fun to do *wink*]

11 // be fully present when with others [STOP.LOOKING.AT.MY.PHONE]

12 // stop caring about what strangers from the internet think

24 // take more baths [i'm not a bath person, wish me luck!]

30 // support more local small businesses
