Turning 40
Yesterday, I turned 40. Forty. Vierzig. Quarante. Empat Puluh. Frankly, I don’t care if I turned 50 yesterday. I just love being myself, being a mom to a rambunctious 6 years old, being a wife to the coolest and genius husband, being a daughter to the world’s greatest mom/parents in-law, being a sister to wonderful siblings/cousins, being a sister-in-law to the in-laws, being a niece to understanding aunts/uncles, being an aunt to cute entertaining nephews/nieces and being a friend to beautiful people, regardless what my age is.
Here’s looking forward to more decades!
If you dread turning 40, don’t. Here are some quotes randomly picked from the internet for you to ponder and smile at:
At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all. ~ Ann Landers
I’m not 40, I’m eighteen with 22 years experience. ~ Author Unknown
The first forty years of life give us the text: the next thirty supply the commentary. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age. ~ French Proverb
Life begins at forty. ~ W B Pitkin

sekadar berkongsi ILMU apabila usia mencecah umur 40 tahun bagus bagun tengah malam solat taubat dan kemudian baca doa umur 40 tahun ayat 15 surah al ahqaf @ http://almukjizat.blogspot.com/2008/01/surah-al-ahqaf-ayat-15.html

I’ll be 40 in 2 years’ time. Life begins at 40 ye… so there’s nothing to worry about… except maybe a few wrinkles here and there 😉

@Nessa, Who said that? I’m 42 and I must have missed the life begins at 40 part. I’ve been short changed! LOL!

@Nessa, Age is only a number. as far as I’m concerned I’m 42 years YOUNG 😀

Emila,
I passed my 40 milestone some time back. At that time, I was in and out of work. But a timely introduction by a friend got me a job in my present firm. Things have been good since then, alhamdulillah.
I hope things will continue to look good for you too.

Being 40 means… you can fart in public and never worry about it too 😀 well.. actually.. being 40 means you are already comfortable in your own skin and wouldn’t mind going out without lipstick and mascara.. urmm in slippers and urmm.. being 40 means.. u are finally free and have constant arguments with the tv.. urmm.. hehhehehee.. its great to be 40! and its just a number as long as you are forever young in your heart.
