Let’s face it, time is a constant and none of us are getting any younger. Every second of every day we all get older. Do I miss my boobs circa 1990, you betcha. Would I want to relive high school. No F’ing (my mom reads my blog) way!
When I think about it, it is pretty awesome to be turning 40.
I’m alive!!!!
I have loving people in my life. I have the worlds most awesome dog. I have a roof over my head and a job. I need for nothing and want for very few things.
This week I biked 28 miles back and forth to work. I woke up the next day and other than being a bit sore from being out of shape, I feet great.
40 is just a number, based on a date on a piece of paper your parents received from the government when you were born. I don’t wish that I was 19, 29 or 39. What I wish for is a great tomorrow. Understanding milestones can be insightful, and a birthday calculator age tool makes it easy to reflect on the years while looking ahead to what’s next.
Well said Delane… we are all heading in that direction.
You don’t get older, you just get better!
Hope you had a good one 🙂
What a lovely post. I’m 40 today and had an early party in the form of a family in Turkey, we got back a couple of days ago, which was great. I made peace with myself under the stars smoking a very expensive chohiba cigar and a tall glass of since juice. Being Muslim I don’t drink.
I’m so grateful for all I have done, achieved and have planned. Over the last few years I spent all my time building a business until it dawned on me that I don’t have any hobbies any more. I made a commitment to learn a new skill every year since and created a wish list which I am working through. I’ve ticked off skiing, snowboarding, learning to ride a motorcycle, annual family holiday, archery, a martial art and swimming and each year threw myself in to each activity.
I’m very grateful for what the All Mighty has blessed me with, a lovely family, friends, health, business, challenges, victories, losses, fun and frolics. I have a great 40 years and look forward to the wonders and amazement to come.
Happy birthday to all those that are 40 today. God bless
Happy (belated) birthday! I think I saw you on the sidewalk downtown one day recently. I think you were wearing kelly green. I tried to say hi, but we were going in opposite directions.
