Today I have been on this earth for 4o years. Wow. I am not really the type to have thought to much about an age. When I was 18, I liked it, when I was 21 i liked it, when i was 30 i liked it, so 40 is not that big of a deal except that things are so drastically different then they used to be.
I did not imagine that 40 would include a 21 year old son, and almost 18 year old son soon to graduate and head to college , a 16 year old son itching to drive and rebuild an old nova and an 11 year old daughter heading into middle school and a husband who still loves me and thinks I am the most beautiful woman alive. I am extremely blessed to have all of that, yet I still think of the days when they were small and we had no money and life was hectic and crazy and full of noise. I do not want to go back, but I realize that you must cherish those moments that bring you great joy because they are fleeting. I think the 40's will be a time for me to reflect on the small moments throughout my days and nights and enjoy them, and know that new things will come down the road and they will be good also. I thank God for my happy, fulfilled life as a mother and a wife and hope that I will find fulfillment beyond that as my family and my life changes. so forty looks Good but different in many many ways.
oh it also looks brunette with much bigger thighs....
