Today is the day that I am officially "middle age".  I am not so sure how I feel about this.  I used to think that 40 was so old.  Now, I think 60 is young.  What is that all about?  Am I trying to cushion the blow for myself or do I really feel that way?  I have to say that  I am truly grateful that I have had 40 glorious, full and crazy  years.  

Thankfully I have loads of women in my life who are in their 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's.  I have talked with a number of them recently and they all say that "the 40's are a wonderful decade".  "Women in their 40's have confidence and know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it."  "You also still look good and feel sexy."  (Although, I am noticing wrinkles around my eyes and the blasted "number 11" between my eyebrows.)    

Thank you to all the AMAZING women in my life.   You have shown me in so many ways the privilege and blessing in being a women, no matter what age.  I am excited for this new decade to unfold.
