38 is
– one very long engagement and finally a date locked in to become Mr and Mrs
– 3 incredible (and incredibly crazy) kids who make this family complete
– Coke-free and 3 kilos lighter for it
– a new respect for my body and what it has done, what it can do and what it endured for far too long
– a new determination to lead a healthy life
– exercise endorphins and learning to run without stopping
– trying on clothes and feeling okay about it
– trying on clothes and sometimes feeling actual HAPPINESS
– even in bathers
– sleep broken by a 2-year-old who's lucky she's cute
– friendships which both ground and buoy me at once
– laughter every day, even on the really shitty ones
– dying houseplants – WHY?? whyyyyyyy????
– general overwhelm and to-do lists for days
– mad juggling skillz and the occasional dropped ball
– so much pride in my baby daddy as he completes his engineering degree
– the feeling of standing on the precipice, on the cusp of a new phase of life for our little family
– abundance, if only I would look for it outside of my bank account
– scope for greater bank account abundance going forward
– making sure the universe hears my financial abundance affirmation
– DEAR UNIVERSE, ALL THE MONEY PLEASE, LOVE ANGIE
– low level chaos
– downsizing stuff and focusing on accumulating experiences instead
– connections, so many connections with people who read my words and make me feel like I have something worth saying
– plans to write more words and over different formats
– two new (absolutely necessary) pairs of heels
– not enough places to wear them
– crossing fingers this beautiful breastfeeding caper will come to a peaceful close very soon
– wondering if a mortgage deposit would be better spent on a new pair of tits
– exhausted, a bit frazzled but ultimately grateful for this life
