A Birthday-related Thought

I turn 30 next month, ladies and gentlemen. THIRTY. Halfway to sixty.

Yes, I do have some typical thoughts of a still-single, student-again 30-year old woman. In case you can't imagine what they would be, they're along the lines of: "What do I have to show for my life?" "Yay! Closer to wrinkles and bad joints!" "Sigh. I still don't have a house a dog a husband a car!" "Should I start dressing my age?" Get the idea? But take courage, friends, I'm fighting the urge to dwell in the getting old part of this deal. This won't be that kind of post.

I'm writing to ask you, dear reader, for your ideas.

I want to celebrate. I don't want to throw just some party - been there, done that. Anyone can have drinks or go out to dinner any other happy time of the year. I survived another year, dammit. I should be thankful. I'm healthy, I have a roof over my head, I have friends here and there, I have a laptop, I don't worry about my next meal, I have so much!!

And so it struck me: I need to serve. Like, get my hands dirty so to speak. But I also want to be with friends, have them meet other friends, laugh drink eat, etc. just like what celebrations should entail. So, why not get my friends together and serve our community together?

Any ideas, thoughts? What activity should we do?

E-mail me or leave a comment.

This should be fun...
