Oh, My.......where have the last 20 years gone? 20 yeas ago, I was a freshman in college, just starting out on my own.....figuring everything out. Well, I'm still figuring everything out. And good talks with girlfriends, they help so much. When My Mom was 40, I graduated from High School. I'm two years away from that big birthday. It's gonna be good, I think, the fourties. I will have figured a lot of stuff out. I'll be more secure with the quirks (and the ten pounds that keeps coming on and off). Fourty is about taking charge of your life, delegating and realizing that you just can't do it all. It's about saying what you mean and meaning what you say (and finding a great eye and wrinkle cream!....let me know if you find one!).
So right now at thirty eight I .....
