The Big 3-0

Clearly not doing so great keeping up with the blog this year. My sincere apologies. Shockingly, I have not been overwhelmed with e-mails and calls begging for a new post, but I'm assuming you are all just shy and secretly checking for a new post every day so here you go. In general, I write less when I'm happy so  take it as a good sign that I haven't had time to write because I'm so busy living my blissful life. Unfortunately, I've also noticed when reading back through this blog - and even my old diaries - that the writing is much better when I'm unhappy so keep your expectations reasonable... but I'm bored and have 20 minutes to kill so here goes.

I didn't write a post for my 30th birthday so I think that's what I'm going to do with this. Give you something inspirational. I've been building up to this birthday for years, literally, (See here and here) and don't think I should just brush past it like it was nothing. Turns out though that despite the fact that turning 30 seemed like a big deal when I was 27, its a much smaller deal when you're 29 1/2. Just as I've found with every other birthday up to now, by the time it got here I was ready for it. And while I may not have it all figured out, I'm on my way.

I'm resisting the urge to fill you in on everything that's happened since I last wrote. I have old diary entries filled with pages of catch-up, with no mention of what was happening that motivated me to write in the first place. So just follow me on Instagram @karlishondell. I'm loving instagram right now.
