I realized that given the usual life expectancy I was only half way through. The thought of 40 more years was intoxicating and I began to think about how to apply the things I'd learned to make the second 40 better than the first one. So rewlax and enjoy the ride, the best is yet to come.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549221102283315790.post-47960353039518275472012-04-26T12:47:36.106-06:002012-04-26T12:47:36.106-06:00Numbers are for Dr.s, scientists and mathematician...Numbers are for Dr.s, scientists and mathematicians. The rest of us just live life and be true to who we are. I remember turning 40, and it was probably the best birthday I ve had. I realized that I was only half way through. I still had an average of 40 more to go. How cool is that? Since you have a few years to prepare, you can just enjoy the kid in you and let it be. Unless I tell them most people guess my age at 10 to 15 years less than what it is. I love my graying hair because I still have it!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550967626491277133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549221102283315790.post-37315434939971959702012-04-26T11:46:24.980-06:002012-04-26T11:46:24.980-06:00I just turned 40 a few weeks ago.

It gives you a genuine reason to not give a shit what other people think about you rather than pretending to care or appearing to be a condescending bastard/bitch. 40 is a badge of honour to be worn with pride!an othernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549221102283315790.post-4776165599345886182012-04-26T00:27:36.764-06:002012-04-26T00:27:36.764-06:00I got a 40 year old son who is older than me and 1...I got a 40 year old son who is older than me and 10 times the fuddy duddy. He makes me feel old so I don't go around him. Hell, he will die from old age before I do. I on the other hand intend to die from a viagra overdose at the age of 100 while trying to ravage a hooker! Wish me luck. I am cutting back on my blogging for a couple of months. I will ck on all my people periodically. <br /><br />the ratthe ratnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549221102283315790.post-3100759631231682482012-04-25T20:00:00.922-06:002012-04-25T20:00:00.922-06:00Holy Mother of God, woman!

I'm 63 and so I know of which I speak. EVERYTHING sucks until you hit 40. Then all the angst and insecurities -- all that bullshit. GONE! 40 is when you hit your stride, girlfriend. And if you take care of yourself and remain healthy, it just keeps getting better. There is nothing quite as wonderful as feeling COMPLETELY comfortable in your own skin, even if it is sagging in places and has a few creases. Plus, these days, 60 is the new 40 so hey -- you get to do it all over again. Seriously, you'll have to be more careful about what you eat, because the waistline is the catch-all for over-indulgence, but other than that -- clear sailing. A profound sense of confidence and self-esteem awaits you. I wouldn't go back a single year. The older you get, the more secrets life's secrets are revealed. Fun times ahead!

My husband is 35 and is the most playful adult I've ever met. I've always wondered what age I would guess him to be if I didn't know, because of that positive and youthful energy he's always had. I know some 35 year olds who carry their age like a weight, and though I understand the merit of maturity, I don't understand the point of treating age like a burden. I think "old" is mostly in your head, and the energy and fun of youth is a "use it or lose it" game. Here's to hoping I can keep it in such an awesome way as my husband has.Unfortunate Actressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549221102283315790.post-41702365723383500792012-04-24T10:40:29.094-06:002012-04-24T10:40:29.094-06:00I like to think about what it would be like if peo...I like to think about what it would be like if people didn't keep track of how old they were, but just lived, acted and reacted.

I am not afraid to say how OLD I am because I think I am looking pretty good for a Meme of 5! Sometimes when I am out with one of my grandchild, people will assume I am the mommy~HA! I say please NO! It is great to be beyond all that, but you should enjoy every minute because it does fly by ones you hit that magic number 40! So sit back and enjoy the ride... I already think you are doing a great job at it! Remember 40 now is not the 40 of your parents~ it's all good!Diana a.k.a Memenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549221102283315790.post-91968095428612026772012-04-24T09:16:00.548-06:002012-04-24T09:16:00.548-06:00I LOVE SpongeBob.
