Whats the big deal about The Big 4-0?

Apparently 1972 & 1973 were awesome years! WHY? Because it appears every good friend I have has hit the big 4-0 this past year or will before the year is out! Of course, not a one of them looks a day over 30, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I remember when I was just a young thing and my opinion on turning 40 was very different! It seemed so OLD and now that I am in my 40’s I’m can hardly believe it. How did this happen? How come I still feel all of 30? I thought I would be in a different place in life, but apparently life had other plans for me! Of course, times are also different, but I still truly believe my friends are aging pretty darn well.

Now, it might be due to a certain resistance to aging! Sure, we all have the grown-up responsibilities of family, work, kids, etc. However, we can still out-tailgate most 20-somethings—we just have a wee bit longer recovery time! It all comes down to attitude, there are a ba-zillion sayings on aging, but truly, you are only as old as you feel.

Check the news, there are 60-70-80-year olds hitting the gym daily, starting new romances, & learning new technologies! It’s a wonderful thing to embrace your age and use the wisdom & experiences of life to live a full life as long as possible! I definitely plan to stick around long enough to annoy the next generation, do you?
