Some people would say this is a milestone year in their life. Some would say this is the beginning of the end. Some would say this is being over the hill. Whatever this is to other people, to me it’s just the end of my 20′s era. I will no longer be able to say that I’m “20″ something. Because now I’m th…….. thri…… thri… thirty! The big three o…
So what does being 30 mean??? At 16, (well in my case, 17), learning how to drive. At 18, being able to vote and file taxes (YAY!! *with uber sarcasm*). At 19, being able to apply for credit cards (without co-signer), gamble and drink alcohol. At 21, being gamble and drink alcohol in the US. At 25, being able to rent a car more easily (has this change at all?). But at 30, what does this entitle me to (beside the long list of possible medical ailments)? Is this really the end of life’s expectancies or am I just missing a few things in my list above?
…well like with any age, it is what you make of it that will define who you will become.
omg… sooooo cliche… sorry people… barf bags are on your left…
As the 21st Winter Olympic Games came to a close… I look back and reflect on the many moments that have defined the games:
- A tragic death that reminded us that we are all human competing for medals that will push some to become heroes.
- That money does not guarantee working stage props or winning medals
- When we “Believe” as a nation, winning gold on Canadian soil is only a matter of who and not when.
- All athletes compete because they love of their sport, but we have athletes that compete out of LOVE (Alexandre Bilodeau for his brother and Joannie Rochette for her mother).
- After many (too many) heart-stopping moments, we have proved that that hockey is OUR GAME!
- And in the end we have learned it’s not about how many medals we have, but how many more GOLD medals we have that makes Canada the best. =)
It’s a great time to be Canadian.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations;
it isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No. I give you blessings.
Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from
worldly care and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No. You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No. I will give you life
so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask God to help me LOVE others,
as much as God loves me.
God said…Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
Stop telling God how big your storm is,
instead tell your storm how big your GOD is.
MY GOD IS SO GREAT, SO STRONG AND SO MIGHTY, THERE’S NOTHING MY GOD CANNOT DO FOR YOU!
