Are You Turning 40 and Looking for a Profound Life Change?
Have a great day!
Turning 40 soon…it’s funny how you change and you don’t even realize it.
You’re trucking along, trying to roll with the flow of life’s ups and downs…and all the while you see yourself as the same…the same as always…as forever…just you…the same you you think you have always been. Then something happens and you realize your not the same you you have always been. You have changed…maybe even a lot.
I’m not saying I don’t like who I have become, because I do. Matter of fact…I like me a lot. I would like to have friends just like me…thats how much I like me.
Its just that now I am trying to catch up with the changes…figure out what they are and what they mean. And what, if anything, I want to do about them.
I am not afraid of growing old anymore than I was afraid of growing up. I just don’t want to miss it because I didn’t see it happening.
I don’t want to give up some things to soon…like my health…or hold on to some things to long…
I think what I really want for the next half of my life…is to keep being me…only better…because I have had 40 years of practice!

I loved your story. I am turning 40 in May. I truly wanted to skip this year, however, being exactly 30 years older than my daughter, I just can’t forget it, because she is turning 10 and age forty is just going to happen. So with that said, I’ve realized how much I am beginning to look at things diffently, still being me and enjoying it but having to embrace it at the same time. Hoping for another great 40 years too. Happy 40th.
