will be 40 in several days

[Welshcookie 17]

Here's positive inspiration: many people aren't fortunate enough to celebrate their 40th.

As someone who seriously almost died at 24 (so not an exaggeration at all), I can tell you that my vanity won't get in the way of me celebrating every subsequent birthday with nothing but immense joy & gratitude.

Happy Birthday!

Y'know....you're right Lisa!!.....I am 40 in a several days also and was feeling less than positive about it...but now I am going to celebrate the fact that I have reached 40 with no serious illnesses or damage....

so here's to the next 40 of same....

P.S Happy Birthday when it comes Shona...

Glad I could put some perspective on it! People for the most part are so vain (myself included) & hung up on age, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.

Happy Birthday Welshie

Thanks to you all for your positive thoughts. I just thought I'd be here and happily married instead of being in removal proceedings and awaiting a decision which could change my life. I'll also be homeless in a few weeks.......

..... but I haven't had any serious illness and I am still alive. Thanks for all your birthday wishes!!!

Shona I'm sorry to hear you're going through so much, things will get better.

There's an old expression 'I once felt sorry for myself cos I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet'

Anyways, best of luck!

Thanks it does put things in to perspective. I know there are people worse off than my son and myself.

Well, at least you're not 50! (Just kidding!)

[Lovetoteach 53]

Show off every gray hair and wrinkle with pride, you earned them!

I thought life was over at 21 and then again at 30, now I like being 35.

Happy Birthday!

I'm 42 now and had our son at 40! It is just a number and I'm sure the best times are still ahead of me. I'm sorry to hear about your situation Shona. God bless you and your son and I hope things get better for you very soon. Happy birthday and best wishes

Hey Shona, you know what they say --

40 is the new 30!

Happy Birthday!

Aaahhhhh, Age is just a number. It really depends on attitude. I'll be 45 in June. I don't feel like it, and most ppl say I don't look it either. happy 40th. !!!
