Turning a Year Older

I will be 35 in about 3 weeks and I am trying to be OK with it. I am one of those people that still want to 29. I had issues when I turned 30. Now, I was not depressed or lay in my bed for weeks but it was just something about turning 30 that was not doing it for me. I really did not like turning 31, 32, 33 or 34 either. *lol* I am trying to do better with 35. It is not that I am unhappy. The last year has had its ups and downs but my family and I have come out alright. I thing the issue is, every since I turned 30, is that I thought I wanted to be in a different place in my life. Not saying that I did not want my husband or kids but maybe not going through some of the things that I have gone through. I made some decisions that I should not have.

As I was driving to work this morning and thinking "UGH, I am about to be 35" I changed my thought to realizing that I am, pretty much, happy with my life right now. Sure, when I was in my twenties, I thought life would be different but what did I know? I was in college, my parents were paying for mostly everything, etc. Life hit after I had my first child and I got married. It was hard to deal with and maybe it has taken me 10 years to get it together. So this year, I am going to make myself be happy about turning 35. I am going to complete a goal that I want. I am going to stop whining, complaining, and thinking about what could have been because that is probably what is holding me back.

Have you ever had problems with getting older? Would you change some decisions that you made earlier in life but risk being in a different place than you are right now?
