40!!!!!

Ok...so tomorrow morning....(20 mins actually)...I will be 40 years old.  People keep asking me how does it feel to be 40.....or teasing me about being "so old".  Well I don't feel any different....and I'm actually quite excited.  I am feeling like I'm in a really great place right now.  The number of my age doesn't mean anything to me.  The way I feel and the way my life is, that's what's important to me.  I feel great and I feel that life is pretty good right now.  Granted, it would be much better if my Dad didn't have terminal cancer....but I'm choosing to see the positive things right now....he's stable....he's funny....he's still able to communicate with us (sometimes too much...lol).  Yes, there are things changing that we see all the time.  His memory is declining.  He needs to use a walker in the house now, and the wheelchair whenever we leave the house...but he's still with us and that in itself is a small miracle.  We thought at this time last year that he would no longer be with us...but he is, and for that I'm happy.

I took Alex to see Eclipse today.....OMG...I did NOT feel 40 when those young men were on the screen.....LMHO...I felt like a teenager......I looked more like a cougar I'm sure, ...but I felt like a gushing teenager...LMHO.  Don't worry...I'm not having a mid life crisis and looking for a youngin to make me feel better.....but damn....they didn't look like that when I was that age.... :-D

So...do I feel any older, wiser or otherwise different now that I'm "40"......nope...I'm still me.....and the number means nothing....!!!
