Turning 29

I don't know what happened between the time I went to bed last night on my 29th birthday and this morning when I woke but something must have happened. I feel 29. I feel older. It is not because anything miraculous occured or I was reminded that I am 29. I just feel and think older--29. Turning 29, for those of who have turned 29 before can attest to this, puts in your face a reality of change coming. I am about to turn 30 which means I can no longer get away with being a kid. 29 is a step away from true adulthood. And I feel it. But I embrace it. I'm okay with it.
