40??

I turned 40 a few days ago!!  Can you believe it??  I have mixed emotions about this.  I mean.  Holy heck that is OLD.  But then I was sitting there the other day, contemplating what age I would go back to if I was given the chance.  Well see.....heres the thing.  None.  Of course I have made a lot of dumb mistakes that Id love to go back and re-do correctly.  Right now though....life is ok.  My kids are both at great ages.  They need me and I need them but they're learning their independence.  They are growing into their own little people and I am constantly learning from them.  Life is more about growing as people rather than CARING for their every need.

My husband and I have grown into a team rather than 2 people constantly battling for the upper hand.  We compliment each other well.  Sometimes to both of our demises but still....we work well together.

Physically of course I don't have my little college body anymore and even though I take my happy hiney to the gym daily, I have not found her yet.  I am okay with this.  I have a husband who loves me and I am still able to do what I want to do in my life.  However, I will still continue to look for that perfect body that I was so fat back in my late teens.

So I have to say....40s don't look too bad.
