On September 20, 2011 I entered my 4th decade of life. Of course it was just another day for most people but for me it was a pretty big milestone. They say that "40 is the new 30" but really it's just 40. I have to say that I don't feel like I should be 40 years old. I feel great, I have a wonderful family and a (several) great job(s). I do what I love and I really don't have to work at all, which is a great thing.
I was pondering life on my last day of living in my 30s and what I came up with is to be grateful for all the things that life gives you. Life is too precious and too short to worry about "oh no, I have an age mark" or "oh no, I gained another 2 lbs" or "oh no, I have another wrinkle". Give it up and enjoy! This is my mantra for my 40s. This will be the way that I live and how I will survive another decade.
I am so lucky to have all the wonderful things that have been given to me by the grace of God. I ain't gonna waste time sweating the small stuff.
Happy 40th to me!
