I hate to be a pest, but I made a major boo-boo with my last comment and posted my email address by mistake. Could you please delete the comment? Thank you. I’m sorry to bother you.

I turned 40 recently, and a birthday I’d dreaded since 30 turned out to be the best birthday ever!

My previous years were rarely happy ones. Lots of pain and abuse. But 40 feels like the beginning of something wonderful and fresh, as if I’ve learned all sorts of great lessons I can now apply to a new and better life. I know who I am and know what I need.

I have a good friend who is in his early seventies and still (happily) working. He says I’ll be around another 50 years. It feels like it! This makes me so happy!

I’m tearing up now. My 35yo sister and I talked about this earlier today, about the joy in growing “up,” because that’s what we’re all doing. Growing up, growing free, like sunflowers.

Looking forward to the 50s. I think;)

I have never felt more like who I am supposed to be. I am sure 50 will be the same too. we truly are the age we want to be and hair color and wrinkles don’t really help us determine age. Attitude is everything.

Heck I turned 40 recently and have never felt more energetic and excited for what the future holds…

AND, your writing is exceptional…thank you!
