In 25 days, I celebrate the beginning of my fourth decade on this planet & all that God has in store for me.

For each day heading towards my birthday, I thought I would write a wish or desire for my forties. I have thoroughly enjoyed my thirties and I know God has even more adventures around the corner.

The Scottish hills are calling me!

My family is planning a trip to my mom’s homeland, and I cannot be more excited. We have time to plan and save, and enjoy the anticipation of a trip we have wanted to take for many years.

To be kind to all, to like many and love a few, to be needed and wanted by those we love, is certainly the nearest we can come to happiness.

– Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (1542 – 87)
