Forty is like thirty - only with better resources, be they money, time management skills, the ability to say "No" to overextending ourselves, etc... We truly do get better with age. I am 44. Each year is better than the last. <br /><br />And what a nice way to start your forties - hopefully with lots of divine new fabric and trims! Take lots of pictures.

I...Honestly, 40 was not so bad (as it turned out). I'd already done most of the freaking out between about 3 months before my 39th and my actual 40th. Remember how when you were a kid being a "whole year older" seemed like such a big deal? But then, you (disappointingly) never felt all that different when you woke up the morning of your birthday? There's less and less disappointment over that with every passing year :) Also, every year you mark the passing of a smaller percentage of your lifetime. This year, it'll be a mere 2.5% for you. By the time you hit 50, your additional years only count for 2%. Any year (or decade, for that matter) that starts with an empty suitcase in a textile shopping mecca looks like a good one to me!<br />chAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-6713164855016279492010-04-29T00:29:03.883+08:002010-04-29T00:29:03.883+08:00I can meet you on June 4th too.
