Are You Turning 40 and Looking for a Profound Life Change?
Have a great day!
When I was 30 I dreaded the thought of turning 40 - it was going to be terrible…I just knew it. Well 40 is here and quite frankly…it was no big deal. In fact my life is better than ever - I’ve recently had my first baby and I feel and look great…other than some of that baby fat that is hard to get rid of around the midsection. I’m secretly afraid that someone will ask me someday if I’m her grandma but thankfully people always just ask me if she’s my “first.”
I keep reading all the time in beauty mags and even on the bulletin boards that 40 is some type of major threshold - you shouldn’t wear sparkly or shiny makeup, you should cut your hair, not wear short skirts or shorts and on and on. I love to sparkle, I love my long hair and I would wear shorts every day if I could.
So is 40 really a big deal? I don’t think so. What about you?
Do you feel and/or look 40? I sure don’t feel it! How about you?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’ll be turning 40 in April and the only thing I don’t like about it is the way I’m starting to look. A few little grey hairs, wrinkles, boobs falling; other than that I’ve never been happier. When I was young, I was the most emotional basket case that thought of nothing but myself. I understand the meaning of life is so much more than what we could do for ourselves, it is who we bring to each other. I get that now. I have three boys and a wonderful husband, and I wouldn’t go back for nothing. I’ll take the grey hair, floppy boobs over being a unhappy young woman any day.
