Re: Does life begin at 40??

Does it?
I'll be 40 next month so I'm curious as to what might "happen".
Some people around me say: "Life begins at 40" and others look troubled and start talking about getting wrinkles, grey hair, sagging bodyparts etc when I mention my birthday. :eek:
So to all you 40+-ers, did life begin at 40 or was it the beginning of the end? :p

Well, I am 46 and I remember turning the big 4-0. I feel like I care less what people may think of me, for one. I feel freer to say what's on my mind. As far as the wrinkles and stuff- it's part of life. I haven't gotten any wrinkles yet but dark circles around my eyes. In S. California, if you haven't had Botox you're practically a pariah. But I've heard that in other countries, like France, they celebrate mature women and plastic surgery is frowned upon. In my 20's and 30's (especially my 20's) I thought I'd never be this old so I didn't think about it and went on with life. Time goes so much faster and you find your time is more precious to waste on idiots. You'll be fine! Take care of yourself by eating well, exercise, multivitamins, and stress is the number one killer. Be kind to yourself.

Eh , just think of it as Half Time , Part Duex . It is a time when you finally realize that the most important person to impress is yourself and not others :cool:

Couldn't have said it better myself! :D

What a rigmarole to go through..:( I hope you get it after all that! It's at times like that when you want to turn round to people and say "You do realise that this is hours of my life that i'll NEVER get back"..lol!
 
Re: Does life begin at 40??

Well,it'll begin at 50 for me:tears:because by the time my kids have left home I won't be far off being decrepid!!

When I'm finally free I'm going to behave in a very shameful manner.I owe it to myself.
