Happy Birthday to Me

Today I'm saying goodbye to my 20's and moving into the next 30 years of my life. I love this song by Tim McGraw...

I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done
Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears
And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I’m doing here
In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, I’m gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I’ll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here,
In my next thirty years In my next thirty years

In honor of... me...and my 30th birthday, let's have a fun giveaway. I'm going to give one lucky person a one year subscription to my favorite magazine, Real Simple. To enter, leave a comment on this post with some good advice on getting older. Contest ends midnight central time, and I will post the winner on Saturday morning. Good luck everyone!
