Turning 35, again.

I'm turning 40 in July. Thirty never bothered me, but this one...I'm starting to realize that I can't eat just anything I want or act like I'm nineteen anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still feel young and I am as active if not more than I've ever been. But sometimes I get a reminder that I'm not nineteen or even 25 anymore. My back will act like it's going to give out for no reason or because I coughed! Oh, please, give me a break!

Despite all these up and coming aches and pains, I am never happier to be me! I like the fact that I'm becoming more well grounded, more mature (it's about time) and wiser. I'm comfortable seeing myself naked because I've had three kids and I've earned all these, well, let's just say, I've earned it all!

Here's to you, all you FOURTY-SOMETHINGS!
