Day 14: Join SAM!

I am now a member of SAM! The last time I was a member, I was in my 20's. So this is exciting to me!

Holly and I had a good time together when we went to the Picasso exhibit back in November. I can't wait to go back and just linger.  In fact, it was a Picasso quote I saw on the wall at the exhibit that planted the seed for this -40- in -40- project:
    It takes a long time to become young. 


I feel like the 30's were a time of growing "old-ish". Lots of big things happened to me. It was most definitely a "game changer" of a decade. Losing my mom to leukemia, having two kids, leaving a career, finding my own way as a mother and wife, etc. It was a lot to take in. It still is a lot to take in. And many of those days were just about surviving. But I'm finding myself happier and more confident at the tail end of the 30's...and better equipped to "not sweat the small stuff".  As I say "hello" to the 40's, it's all about "becoming young". 
Love that.
