Yep - I'm 40 today. How does it feel? GREAT!!! I'm finally at a place where I feel more mature (whether I am or not is a different story!). It's really funny though how your perspective on life changes as you get close to 40. For the past year or so, I've realized the frailty of life a little more. I've realized how much sweeter heaven seems to me. I don't take for granted my health.

People who are younger than me ask in a very "gentle" way how it feels to be turning 40. I think it scares some people to death. Those who are older are wisely reminding me that it's all in how you look at it. And they're right. I'm choosing to look at the bright side. At 40 I don't have to change diapers every day. Yippee.

Anyway, I think it's really true that 40 is the new 20! And I'm sticking with that! ☺
