I'm 40!

Actually, I'm ~very~ happy to be forty!

Because back in my teens when 40 was *old*, I made a stupid prediction that I was going to die before I turned 40.
I was so sure of this that I wrote it down and tucked it in my diary so that when I died, eventually someone would read through my diary and go "Gasp! She knew!"

But then, I also predicted that the young man I was dating at the time was going to propose marriage to me within the next year and a half.

Thbbbt!
That didn't happen either.

In any case, this past year has been just a little creepy as I really didn't want to be right about dying this year.

So...
I don't know if life begins at 40, but I can very confidently tell you that life most certainly does not end.

Happy birthday to me!
I'm happy to be alive!

Happy Birthday to you!!! I turned 40 last year - turning 40 brings a lot of 'freedom' from the obligations of youth.

Lots of good folks having birthdays in September: you, Bou, Harvey, and me - on Monday! September is good!!

Carter: I don't think you ever met him. He lived in that town 7 miles north... so, you know, he wasn't all that smart. ;-)

Happy 40th to you!!! I turned 40 last month and it's been great so far. Actually it's been a BIG WAKE UP CALL for me. Deciding on a career change. So far I love it. I feel more wonderful now than ever before.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.........
