Now that I am 40!

In January I turned 40!  
Here are my thoughts on the big 4-0!




*Now that I am 40 I am going to enjoy every minute of life.  Have fun, be crazy, do silly things.  Laugh!

*Now that I am 40 I am going to stop questioning and just do what I know is right for me, for us, for our family.

*Now that I am 40 I know that a good laugh and a good night sleep are cures for most things.

*Now that I am 40 I know that I have it within me to get where I want to be.  I just need to do it.

*Now that I am 40 I will apologise when I should and let go what I can't change or have no control over.

*Now that I am 40 I will love more and (try) to worry less - yes. I am a worrier.

*Now that I am 40 I am going to make sure I cleanse, tone and moisturise daily.  I guess eye cream will become one of my best friends, too.

*Now that I am 40 I am sinking into who I am and being comfortable and proud of myself.

*Now that I am 40 I want to share my thoughts fearlessly and be proud of my personal opinions and ideas.

*Now that I am 40 I have to get over my nerves when I speak in front of people and just do it.

*Now that I am 40 I count my blessings - my life, my family, my friends, my health.  I am one lucky girl.

*Now that I am 40 I want to find some 'me' time - time to read, time to knit, time to sew.

*Now that I am 40 I know the importance of friends and family and the impact they have on my life.  I want to make a bigger effort to write special notes to them and let them know just how important they are to me.

*Now that I am 40 I realise the fragility of life.  In general, we have no control of what happens we can only control how we react to the life we have been given.

*Now that I am 40 I have embraced being 4ft 11inches (152cm).  Apparently I will only shrink from here on in.

*Now that I am 40 I realise how important personal stories are and what they stand for.  I want to write down my story for safekeeping so I can share them with future generations.

*Now that I am 40 I cannot wait to see what the next 40+ years have install for me.  If it's as good as the 40 I've just had I am one lucky girl.
