Turning 40

I have been thinking about writing a post on this topic for a couple of months, thinking I would have a lot to say on this topic.  I recently turned 40 a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it the milestone.  Well, now that it has come and gone, quite frankly I really have nothing to say about it.  I thought I would feel a since of sadness but you know what....NOTHING.  I am happy to report that 40 is just a number and I have so much living to do and so much to accomplish personally.  I feel like I have checked the box on family and my career.  I now feel like I am going to devote a bit of time to accomplishing things I want to do more so on the creative side.  Yes, of course my first priorities are to my husband and children and I will continue to focus my efforts there.  But I am really talking more about things I admire in others and say gees, I could of done that.  I am tired of saying that, I could write a creative inspired book or teach at a major art event....why not, right?  I am at the point of my life that my motto is "keep on keeping on" sounds silly but I just said that at work the other day.  I just want to live my life to my own set of standards and not worry about others.   I guess I had a little something to say about it after all.

I had it exactly the same way when I turned 40. It was great being in the 40-ties Turning 50 is something different - haven´t quite decided what I think of that yet...

Congrats on turning 40 and yes your right it truly is no big deal.
And yes... YOU definitely could teach a major art event..and I'm sure it would be absolutely amazing. I will leave now as I'm dreaming all about your fabulous upcomming event!
