    Don't sweat it. I turned 40 last month, but I feel 25. My oldest son, who will be 19 next month told me "you're just 25 with 15 years' experience!" Getting older has never bothered me.

    For those of you already there, what's the best thing about being 40?

    Nothing. Just give up.

    Lol. Always the ray of sunshine. ;)

    @LovingLifeInCalifornia‌ You know it. :p

    Only things good about 40 is you can wear socks with sandals without people looking at you weird.

    Only reason people in their 40's say otherwise is COMPLETE AND UTTER DENIAL!

    I'm not in denial. I just live in my own little world...and I like it there just fine: the weather is sunny. I got to wear shorts and flip flops. I feel great. Life is good. :sunglasses: if this means I'm in denial, I'll still take it. ;)

    40 is awesome. I'm.often mistaken for Early 30s. If I were in my 30s that would suck but at 40 it's awesome.

    I'm with the rest of you, 30's were tough, 40's were better - but 50's - like being a kid again.

    one with pains, taking meds, taking naps, ....etc

    I agree with the above. 20's sucked. 30s were good. 40's, you kind of know where you are in life and don't worry about things you did earlier. I wish I was 40 again (well, maybe not since my dad died a month before my birthday, but after that it was good).

    Truth is I fell apart at 35. The opportunities I have are freebies. Take time for yourself and enjoy unplugging from time to time. It will provide a calm and help refresh your batteries!

    You know I'm trying! Thanks for being there for me!
    As always, it is my pleasure!

    @Chaelaz‌ grow up. This is a serious discussion

    On a serious note while my eyes changed to old people eyes the week before I turned 40 I was told last year that I was doing my most favourite thing ever better than I was in me teens so really any age is whatever you make of it. Better to live life to its fullest than dwell on bygone days.
