Just another day...

But today is the day that I turn 40.  Holy crap, FORTY?  Really?

Yup, it's true.

From the little girl born to a couple of ex-pats, I pretty much lived overseas until I was seven.

I'm no longer the fresh-faced kid that graduated High School at barely 17...

 

Nor am I the girl who was thrilled to discover that you can still dress up for Halloween when you're in college.

My twenties came & went...found myself at a freshly-turned-thirty, doing the matrimony thing...

had a couple of kids...

and here I am today (well, November '09, but close enough!)


I was going to write something deep and meaningful about turning forty (though, I did that a while back, so if you're so inclined, have a read...) but today is another day, with things to do, cake to munch, and vino to swill.  Deep thoughts will have to wait for another day.


Wait, no they don't, here's one now:  thanks, Jack Handey!

It's been remarkably easy so far... :-) I think that half the battle for me was embracing it instead of fretting over it!
