and I was 40 yrs old. So what! To me 40 is not that bad at all. I have lived about half my life now and it has been good. I still have another 40 yrs or more to make it even better.
I am proud of what I have accomplished, and look forward to learning much much more. When I think about how much I thought I knew 10 yrs ago and how much more I have learned since then, I can't help but look forward. I know I can't possibly imagine what lessons I will have learned by the time I wake up 50, only because I had no idea what lessons I was going to learn by the time I was 40.
I like to think "But I am much smarter now, so I can imagine what I will learn by looking at what I have learned, and I am cocky enough to let myself think that some days, BUT, I am also smart enough now (from lessons learned) to know that isn't true.
Have I confused you yet? It's like that at 40.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU:) I can't believe I missed it. My excuse is holidays and that I no longer have my calendar as I have moved to the BIG window office! I hope you had a fantastic birthday and you are enjoying your present from July (that was the camera, right?) XOXOXOX ~N
It's not your fault, it wasn't on a Saturday, how were you gonna ever remember it?
I was gonna write something last night but for some reason the comments page wouldn't come up and now I'm stumped. Oh well, Happy Birthday, babe. I hope I'm as Together and With It as you are when I'm 40!
Happy belated birthday Aunty Mel! I meant to write on here the first day I ran into you at the mall!!! No real internet access though!!!
You look fabulous, that is what I wanted to tell you then, and still.
Hope you had a great day, and have a great everyday!
I'm so glad to see that you have taken turning 40 so well. I certainly hope that I will have the courage to do the same as my time approaches. Keep your chin up! Cause otherwise when you run your boobs will be slapping you in the face!!
