Are You Turning 40 and Looking for a Profound Life Change?
Have a great day!
Well it’s here - the Year of 40. Today is the day it begins - my birthday. I have actually been looking forward to it to be honest. My little joke is that turning 40 beats the heck out of the alternative of not turning 40!It has come with little fanfare. I got cards from my parents and grandparents. My couple of close friends and I are going to dinner tonight and out for drinks which I am looking forward to. But I am sitting here lounging and waiting for that event. My son has been away for Christmas so I had Christmas with him this morning and we went to breakfast. They sang to me at IHOP and yes I had ice cream with my breakfast… hey I’m entitled right?!?!? After all I am 40 you know.
The Year of 39 was a good one for me. Of course there were ups and downs. The downs are I lost a great-grandmother at 102 (but she lived a good, long, healthy life) and had to put my dog to sleep (which broke my heart). But the ups are that I lost 70 pounds and have found a confidence that I didn’t know existed; I got a promotion at work and love my job; I continue to pursue my masters degree; I got a new puppy; and last, but certainly not least, I continue to see my teenage son grow into a caring, wonderful human being.
The Year of 39 was truly a blessing. And I can’t wait to see what the Year of 40 holds!
