30 Life Reflections from a 30 Year Old

I'm back!!!! I have been gone from the blog for so long. 

But I just turned 30 (eek!). So to come back to blogging, I created a list of 30 reflections of a 30 year old.

I'd love to know what would make your list. 

30 Reflections

1. Wear sunscreen. Always. And reapply.

2.  Floss. Every day. 

3. The love from a dog is like no other love there is. 

4. As many Minnesotans would say..."it's nice to be nice."

5. Volunteering in any way, shape, or form is good for the soul.

6. It is important to reflect and remember those teachers, mentors, and friends who had a positive impact on your growing up. 

7. Working at one job for an extended period of time teaches you a lot of life lessons.

8. ...and so does starting a job at age 15.

9. Enjoying brunch and coffee with friends is priceless.

10. Eating a donut a day while on vacation is okay.

11. Travel opens up a whole world to explore.

12. Learning to love your body is a life long process.

13. Owning your past experiences helps you to move forward and conquer new ones.

14. House projects are stressful.

15. Every one should know how to ride a bike.

16. College moments should be savored as they don't last very long.

17. Quality friends are more important than quantity.

18. Daring to step outside your comfort zone gives you courage. 

19. Paying off your first car is such a phenomenal feeling.

20. Playing hooky from work and having a play day is more fun than it should be.

21. If you learned an instrument at a young age...keep it up...so you won't forget.

22. Clean sheets = the best night of sleep.

23.  Taking a great poop is an undiscussed pleasure in life.

24. You must move your body every day.

25. Your body does not like processed crappy foods, but every once and awhile it's delicious :-)

26. Making mistakes happens to all of us and they will continue to happen.

27. Surrounding yourself with amazing people makes you feel amazing and want to do better.

28. Nature is meant to be experienced and loved.  

29. Everyone should hug every day. 

30. Being grateful and focusing on gratitude is a must. 

No matter what your age, what have you learned?

Happy Birthday to all of you!
