So, I have really been spending a lot of time on this "40" thing. I am not sure why, maybe I thought I was supposed to have some epiphany and now have all the "right" answers to my questions. Not happening, I have been thinking for a while now that I really do not feel like I should be turning 40, I mean that is kind of getting up there and aren't you supposed to have your, um, stuff together by this time in life?
I started a little too early on some things, we won't go into those, a little later on others, like having my first child at age 25 and my second at age 34. I do own my own home, of that I am very proud. I own a car and a minivan, they serve us well, the latter as a camper in the summer and a Girl Scout shuffler in the winter.
For the most part I am happy being single, I do not need to ask anyone when I want to spend money, on the other hand I do not have someone to hang out with.
I find that I am more comfortable with myself, I am still learning about me, of course but things that used to irritate the heck out of me don't even matter anymore.
SEIZE THE DAY AND HUG YOUR KIDS, live life to its fullest and know that your children are getting older every day too.
I am rambling on and on and on. My point is.... Turning 40 is no big deal!!!!
I hear ya cousin:) I remember when I'd sit and watch all the aunts and uncles gab about family life and work-when they were in their forties. I thought about how OLD they were. Now, I'm in my mid forties and I have to say that we are still young! *I loved chatting with Jessica the other night. She's a social butterfly:)
