I’m almost 40. Yes, this big day is around the corner. I’m bummed and excited all at once. It’s like being bipolar in your stomach. I’m bummed because 40 is old. My benchmark is that I know more people younger than 40 than older than 40. I’m bummed because my body is changing and this time, I can’t control all of it. I’m bummed because the dream I’ve had still hasn’t come true. But I’m excited for one big reason! The way I see it, I lived half of my life trying to figure out who I was. Now, I get to live the other half of my life being her. 🙂
For what it’s worth – 1) YOU only seem to get better with time (ref: photos from earlier years vs present) , 2) “40” is ONLY a number – I remember when “34” was the crossing line for me from when I was growing up and my Mom was that age………..go figure………..and THREE) at this point in my life, I try to look at it more that I’m THAT much closer to being united with our Redeemer…..as sad and as sobering as getting older can be, however, like the cliche goes, we are only as OLD as we feel, and I’m a guessing, YOU’ll still be a “30 something” when your golden years surround you…………. 😉 Happy Monday, Ms. Heather………..as always thank YOU for being a willing vessel in His name
