    Getting older doesn't worry me at all. Life just gets better.

    I'm close....10 months. Sometimes I don't worry about it, but other times I get to thinking about all the things that come with turning 40, and I try to ignore it! 8-)

    Meh. I turn 38 next month. I'm stronger, faster, and much less fat than I was at 28. Handle your business right, and you only get better as you grow older.

    I've never understood people worrying about the fact that their age will be divisible by 10. With every birthday, you're a year older than the last. Exact same age difference from one birthday to another; and it sure beats the alternative.

    My advice for turning 40 is to do it like I did it...

    ...on a cruise ship in the Western Caribbean.

    I'll second that:)
    And I'm 44. Amazing! I don't really care, so long as I am actively doing things that make a difference. I'm "on purpose" with life, is my goal. Incidentally, I was carded twice this last 6 months while making a wine purchase lol!:drinker:

    Yep, I'm looking forward to it. Once I'm 40, I get to compete in the Masters I class! :)

    Meh, I turned 40 this year. It didn't really phase me one bit.

    I'm not bent out of shape about getting older, it's really not even something I think about. There are way too many fun things to do.

    Closing in on it but not spooked (yet), we'll see what happens when I get there. Father Time will continue to march forward & my goal is to continue working on damage control as he marches right on across my face & body ;)

    Thus far, leaving 29 & turning into 30 was the shock to the system, for me; it was a true turning point & I did some major 360's between 30-33 & spent a lot of time wondering "what was I thinking!?!?" in regards to things I did in my 20's...

    Just remember that 40 is more frightened of you, than you are of it.
