40th birthday

I was lucky to spend my friday night with 14 friends to celebrate a 40th birthday. I started to think about the amount of growth that happens in every decade. Just think about what we accomplished in the first 10 years of our lives, crawling, walking, and talking. Flash forward 30 years of experience and we are at 40. Done having children and now discovering who we truly are. The best part is we no longer pretend. If it doesn't fit we just don't want it in our lives. We simple just don't have time for any extra drama in our lives. As we hit a new milestone, there is always some reflection from the past 10 years and an instant knowing about our next 10. I am not looking forward to the aging on my body, but I embrace the self acceptance that age brings. What a gift self worth would be to get at 18. Let's enjoy every decade that we find ourselves in and appreciate that we can say.. been there...done that and wore it!
