26.

26. My age hit a new number this past week. The numbers keep ticking by, but I don't feel any different really. I remember reading a blog post by Kate from The Small Things Blog awhile back where she picked a

signature

mac lipstick color for her 27th year of life. I liked the notion of having a

signature

something to ring in a new year of life. Instead of a lip color I like to choose a signature mindset or phrase. Last year I tried to make big decisions that focused around pursuing happiness. The 25th year of my life is when we really took hold of our finances and financial goals, I took the big scary leap to go back to school, and I feel like Paul and I had some really good conversations about where our future is leading us to, all things done in the pursuit of happiness.

So 26, this is going to be the year of gratitude. I have been blessed with so much, and this year more so than any other I want to really focus on always remembering that.

How about you? Do you pick a signature something for a new year or a new age for yourself? I'd love to hear it!
