| is it true or bulls**t that life begins at 40?
Posted: 11/26/2006 8:20:15 AM | Life does begin again at 40. Just a trip to the supermarket today made me feel confident! To see the guys fidgeting with their purchases, made me smile! For some reason I feel I am at a peak in my life. I have confidence, knowledge, no hang up's, footloose and fancy free. I'm going to be 48 in December, been there, done that, and doing it all again with my little son!   | |

I am better today because of all I learned yesterday, and waiting to see what I will learn tomorrow......
Just my opinion.....   | |

Honestly I freaked out at thirty.. no longer in my twenties, cried a bit at forty.. fifty was a piece of cake.. | |

i know its just another age but its the big 40,seems a little daunting
Two things that should help:
1 - Your body won't fall apart, at 40, if you just take even a little care of it.
2 - Death is the only other alternative to aging.
I'll take a few more years anytime! | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 5:20:00 PM | I wouldn't say "life" begins at 40; however, I would say that a "different kind of life" starts to evolve. For many of us, the children are now becoming more and more independent and we are not joined at the hip with them anymore. They are off doing their own thing and we have more free time to develop other interests. Hopefully, our stress levels start to decline too. Heck, I was a grandma at 45 and my grandchildren are now in the process of becoming independent. It's not something magic which happens, it's just a gradual evolvement into something different.  | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 6:46:57 PM | ^^^^^exactly! Life doesn't begin at 40....there isn't some magical epiphany on the eve of your 40th birthday and you wake to a Viagra commercial...BUT...you do come into your own at around that age. You TRULY KNOW yourself...and more importantly you accept and even like yourself...so everything that you do is that much more enjoyable. Personally, I believe "life" begins when you choose to start living it and not waiting for it to happen to you. I can say that at 44 I'm a much happier woman than I was in my twenties...but that is certainly a personal thing. I plan on living for quite a while...you only get out of life what you are willing to put into it...so enjoy! | |

I am really interested in knowing does life really begin at 40 or is that just a myth?
Has life got even better after 40 or gone downhill? And if so what makes it so great?
Heck yes! I am having the time of my life now!
I am very comfortable with life and me and where I am at.
Life doesn't really begin at 40...I think we mature as we age and life becomes so full of possibilities again.
I am hanging on and enjoying this wonderful ride!

Posted: 2/17/2007 8:51:06 AM | There's no magic switch at 40, or 50.
Life begins today and life begins every morning as you drag yourself out of bed. Love it, embrace it, learn from it, and tomorrow you'll wake with a little better understanding of the world and the adventure called your life. Or not. You can always waste your life waiting for some magical distant day when it all gets better.
Remember that some of the opportunities presented to you at 35 won't be there at 40, or even at 36. There will be different ones, some better, some worse, but you'll never be who you are or where you are ever again in life.
Life begins when you let it. | |

Posted: 2/17/2007 5:16:41 PM | Is a myth. Not so long ago, around 50 yrs and before that, the classic life meant to get married young and have children not just as a way to define sexuality and respect but, also to comply with the society standard for a status quo.
Hipotetically, in the ideal situation, hitting the 40's means a well stablished position where the financial stability and grown up children taking their own way give you the freedom to enjoy life once the parental responsabilities are acomplished and finished. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 6:30:25 AM | Wellllll...we all know it began before 40. and if I am fortunate, it will continue on for many years to come.
I wouldn't have wanted to miss any of it..
I feel it depends on what you choose to make of life.
Each and every day is a beginning. Enjoy the time where you are :) | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 6:56:35 AM | | When I turned 40 I was depressed for almost a year. I thought this is it. Its over. I will be dead soon. I never thought about age until that day. But so far I have survived. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 7:08:39 AM | | Life is what you make it... If you believe that life is there for living...if you can retain a childish awe at new sights and new experience ...if you can laugh and cry and feel deeply...,. then you can enjoy your life whatever age you are and by the same token if you can't do any of those things then your life will be empty however young you are! | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 7:15:17 AM | | Join the human race at 40 and see the world. I understand it's a great place. At least room for one more, maybe two. Step outside the box and see for yourself. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 10:51:29 AM | That's good advice from drg1301!
Seems to me that I made many mistakes in my 20's, made better decisions in my 30's and have been seeing constant improvement in my life since about age 40. For me, a lot of it had to do with learning to accept myself for who I am and take care of myself, as well as others. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 1:14:59 PM | Life is what you make of it. If you our having problems at 35 and do not do anything about them. They our not going to magically disappear when you turn 40 years old or any age.
Take what you have and make the best of it or change it. Do not figure the older I get the better it will be. | |
