Are You Turning 40 and Looking for a Profound Life Change?
Have a great day!
I can hardly believe it, I will be 40 in about two weeks. I realize many people are not thrilled with such an occasion, but, I am looking forward to it.
Life as we all know is full of bumps and scrapes, ups and more often downs,and can often leave one with a bad taste in their mouth. It is quite the struggle for some of us to get up the stupid hill at all much less reach the point where we are over it. I have earned it !!!
What it means to me to be “over the hill.” The Hill to me is the metaphor pertaining to the struggle to understand our lives and our place in the world. It took me a long time to get the big picture worked out to the point where I understood myself and the world well enough so that I could grow into the person I am now. I can now live with who I am, because I finally realize that I am a descent person. I can live with the hurt and suffering of my early life because I now understand that those who caused my pain were only acting within the boundaries of their own understanding. Life is getting easier because with age comes wisdom, and because now I no longer have to drag all my baggage up the Hill.
HIP_HIP_HOORAY FOR GETTING OVER THE HILL !!!
