Another Year Older

Welp, I'm solidly in my thirties now. Most of what I have to show for 31 so far is a new driver's license (no more photo from age 22!) and a few more gray hairs. But, let's attempt to age gracefully, shall we?

It's been a low-key celebration so far, but a fun one nonetheless, from visiting with my parents, to volunteering at a bicycle safety festival, to a dinner date at Bread & Circus, an amazing local restaurant.

So, what do I want for my birthday? A little love for Mother Nature! Doing any of these would be an amazing gift. :)

• Pick up a piece of litter you come across, and either throw it away or recycle it.
• Use a reusable mug for your coffee or water.
• Go for a walk outside (weather permitting).
• Turn the water off while you rinse dishes or brush your teeth.
• Turn the AC up a degree or two.
• Don't idle your car unnecessarily.
• Check out my newest birthday Spotify mix, 30+1 songs I'm currently jammin'.

I'll be back later this week with a look at summertime sun and fun without all the chemicals and waste.
