It hit me last week…in six months I’m turning 40. FORTY!! Wow, where did my 30′s go?
Honestly, getting older hasn’t been bothering me. I think because people always mistake me for being in my early 30′s. That’s how I feel too. But the idea of turning 40 has sent my brain into overdrive, “wait, I’m not ready yet, I still have so much to do first!”
I’m not sure if I figured I’d be in a different place in life, be doing more or have accomplished some of my “wishes” by now, but that big number makes me think that I want to get some things accomplished by then, both personally and professionally.
Things like…
Owning my own business is a big one. Something that would give me more freedom in my schedule
Another is fitness. I picture me on my 40th birthday in a tiny bikini somewhere tropical. I want to feel, strong, healthy and completely at ease in my skin.
I always thought I’d have children by this age, and know by 40 I won’t be a mother. I hope to find myself closer to having a family in my early 40′s or at least at peace not having children.
What is it about 40?
