Fortunately, I'm going to live! That's always a good thing, especially when you consider I'm turning 40 next year.
What's that I said?
I'm excited about turning 40?
Heck ya I'm excited.
Ask any one of your elders--elder being someone at least 20 years older than you--and they will tell you. The 40's are the best years of your life.
OK, OK sure. I know a lot of you are not excited about turning 40. You start to panic about the wrinkles on your face or the fact that certain parts of your body, if they haven't already, will start to fall and there's nothing you can do about it.
But dude, your 40. Who cares about the rest? Why? I'll tell you why.
40 is power.
You know stuff at 40.
Sure the little 20-somethings and 30-somethings out there think they know some stuff, but they don't know stuff.
Not like you know stuff.
And it's fantastic knowing all the stuff you know.
Knowing more stuff means you're smarter. Being smarter means you're better. And being better means you'll exude confidence. Everybody knows that smart and confident beats out dumb and pretty any day.
Any. Day.
40. It's gonna be good. I'm so glad I get to get there.
Look at me all happy and stuff with my good biopsy results. I think I'm feeling 40 already.

ROFL I'm with you! I'm Flirting with 40 and I'm not all that upset over it. Glad the biopsy came back good :)
I think 60 is powerful. That's when you can say anything anywhere and you can get away with it. Can't wait!!!
More power to you!! I hope I feel that way in 9 years. As of right now I say I'm 28 for the 4th year in a row.....just not ready to say I'm (thirty).
Even though I'm actually 31. ugh. Sorry, forgot that part.
Sounds good but wait till the 50 rolls around. That passed about, well, almost 3 years ago and I truly HATE it, although I like taking charge of my life lately. That is nice.
Staring at 50, now, myself.
Good luck on that empowerment thing.
I'm so glad that you are OK :)
And yes, the 40s can be really good!
Amen!! I'm loving my 40s! And glad to hear the test results show you are gonna be around to enjoy yours! :) kelinokc
The 40's are the best years of your life? Why didn't someone tell me? Damn, I've already used up 1/10 of them, too.
Great news about your biopsy results!
I'm 41 and I think I'm at my best ---better person than when I was in my 20's or 30's. I gained more wisdom . But I don't look and feel like I'm 41. Hehehehe!
I was having just this conversation today (though not about the biopsy - glad you're okay!). A new colleague thought I was much younger, much MUCH younger, to which I was grateful for the compliment but also very happy and proud to be knocking on 40's door. I'll take the wrinkles and droops for what I've found in return.
It's really not a big deal to turn 40. I'm still young enough to believe that if I hit the gym harder I could have legs like a super model, but I'm old enough to fully appreciate the joy of having two legs that work.
Great post! I'll be 40 this summer and lovin' where I am in life right now!
I just turned 70 and I'm surprised to be alive at this age. At one time I thought life was over at 70. No way! It's only over when the grim reaper stops you in your tracks - if he can catch up with you. (I know it's a him. A woman wouldn't do that.)
Happy birthday.
