The Big Four O!

 

For the past several years I have been absolutely dreading this day.  Forty always seemed so old to me.  Dave has trained the kids to say that I am 29.  That will only work so long before my daughter's age makes people wonder.  LOL!  But you know what, I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself.  I'm tired of feeling sad that my youth has been quietly slipping away from me.  I am going embrace this time in my life.  A time where my children are growing up and no longer in need my constant care, a time where I can go and do what I want, a time where I can discover who I am after years of evolving into this person I see in the mirror every morning.  I'm still young enough to play and laugh and have fun.  I'm still young enough to turn heads, especially Dave's.  And darn it, I am still young!  I am Fierce, Fabulous and FORTY!  Happy Birthday to me!!
