now that I'm older
I just turned 36! I've been with Nick for 13 years. This means that I must have been 23 when we went on "what he thinks is a date." I stayed the night, missed my botany class the next day, and this was the beginning of the rest of our lives.
Being older now, I plan on being better. Starting today, I will sit up straight. Starting tomorrow, I will be wiser with my ca$h, or lack thereof. Starting this weekend, I will clear out the hall closet and make the rest of the house the place I most want to be.
The most celebrated holiday in Japan is Japanese New Year, when everyone clears out their entire house inside and out from the 1st to the 3rd. Then they invite friends and family over, open house style. It is a time to be joyful and happy, without stress or anger. I like that.
