40

me40yearsold

Pardon this slightly indulgent post.
I'm 40 today, and I feel calm and happy.
And so curious to see what the next 40 years will bring.

    happy birthday Nicole, and I'm happy you feel like this... I'll be 40 in a few months and apparently I should be depressed and sad about it...

    sad, shcmad. My life is full of wonderful things!

    Happy Birthday!

    You look so much younger, if you don't mind me saying so, I would have guessed 30!

    Darlin', I never would have guessed you were 40. (Not that there's anything wrong with that. You just look fantastic.)

    Happy Birthday!!

    Happy Birthday! I'm up to 43, my 40s have been good to me so far. Older women tell me it is a great decade.

    Happy belated birthday! 40 never looked so good! It's funny you posted this. I turn 40 next year, and, I must admit, it's been on my mind lately! Your post has calmed my thoughts, and I am now focused on the next 40 years, not the past 40 ones!! Hope you had a great bday.
