3. As a thirty-something, we are in the midst of milestones and life changes all around us.
Many of us are trying to get pregnant, we’re pregnant with our last baby, we’re enjoying raising our growing kids, or we are embracing not having any kids at all. If we’re blessed to be parents, we experience all the wonderful “firsts” of our children. In the workforce, we’re going through job changes, promotions, and maybe even going back to school to pursue a different career path. Some of us have aging parents under our care. Others have experienced the tragic loss of a parent and other loved ones. We’re at the age where people are getting married for the first time and sometimes, for the second time. There are all kinds of birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations, but it is also a time that we experience the heartbreak of funerals…of our elders and ones that left us too soon. So much. In our thirties, we can experience nearly ALL of life’s ups and downs. At times, this season can be a particularly difficult one, but it’s richness is enlightening and offers us great perspective.
