I turned forty on May 26, 2007. The thing that surprises me most is how fast time is going by, now. I actually don’t mind being forty. I look at it this way… I’ve now been an adult for as long as I was a kid. So I’ve had say in my life, about what I want, how I’m going to get it, and what types of relationships I’m going to have, for twenty years.
Actually, I didn’t really get smart about any of those things until my early to mid thirties. So even though I wasn’t a child anymore, I acted out child behaviors that served me when I was young. They didn’t serve me as an adult but I kept rolling them out over and over again in an insane attempt to get different results from doing the same things.
In my mid thirties I finally started figuring myself out. And now that I’m 40, I’m doing what I love. And I’m glad my life has turned out the way it has. I love my husband, respect my friends, and adore my dogs.
So, I’m happily forty. Bring on the next 40+!
On this day..
