Posted: 9/28/2007 7:53:23 PM | | Baby girl, it's OK!! Odds are, you're gonna be just fine, and here's why: you know how babies are predicted to be walking by around age 1? ...Age 40 is a predictable time when many people start to gain enough perspective to be able to relax, hear their own voices, worry less about what everyone else thinks of them. This can be a scary thing to do. ,,,Adults are prone to jumping around, doing their stages of development out of order. I had an early mid-life crisis at 30; but 40 was yes, life beginning for real, for me. Some bad things suddenly felt better; and some good things got Great. I would not be 20 again for anything, but that's just me. | |

Posted: 9/29/2007 7:34:31 AM | Wifey material, my opinion would be that life is about stages of emotional growth. I think its an accepted view that at 40 you should be at a period where you have basic stabilities ,vocation,home, stable relationships/family.Of course that wouldn`t apply to all, but most likely to most. The "normal" view is that youve dedicatated your time to home and family and at 40 you should be able to spend more time doing the things you`d like to do. My advice would be not to concern yourself with it . Its a number and does not reflect how different we all are at that age or any age in fact. Its more to do with enjoying what you have, be that at 40,50 ,60etc. Hey im 54 and lifes still good and i love every second of it!! | |

Posted: 10/1/2007 9:35:53 PM | Actually, life is all that one makes it to be! If one thinks old, then one will be old. I don't look my age, guys guess me to be between 32 - 37...I will be 48 in December! lol With this life, (the life after a 21 year marriage) I thought I would never live again...I was wrong! I am now working a my divorce, after a 2 year separation
...the past 18 months, have been some of the best in my life!! Girl let me tell you...I can hang with the best!! Life doesn't begin at 40...it just gets better! And one thing to always remember...it ain't what you got, it's how you use it! haha  | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 9:41:11 AM | it sure does get easier as one gets older and wiser........we are financially secure, the kids are more independant and absolutely, the sex is AWESOME! or maybe it was just me - i guess i am still a late-bloomer........
it is, if i remember my 20s - pretty big deal going into 30s, but NO WAY could i envision 40s and later.....now that i am here (45) - i worried and fretted for no reason....and listen, they (us the 40-somethings and older) are STILL saying the same things.....nah, youll be okay, it just a number, blah, blah, blah.......life begins when u truly want to live it - ur own way and at ur own pace.....with ur own limits and expectations........really and truly
and oh yeah, you could not pay me enough to want to be in 20s - especially this day and age - i am so glad i am not 21 anymore! lol | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 1:46:41 PM | Life is what you make of it at any age.
So far the only thing headed south are my boobs and my underarms. The rest of me is holding up well. I still do all I used to do and have added a few extra activities like ballroom and Latin American dance.
I also speed walk four days a week. I will turn 60 in January. My experience is life just gets better. I am wiser, have more humor and am more confident than when I was younger. I also worry less. I have good health, good friends and a good income. Now if only I could find a good man I would be laughing.  | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 9:23:39 PM | | Oh yes......it is more exciting and has incredible perks. It depends on how well one has taken care of themself. I can only speak from the viewpoint of a man though. | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 12:01:15 AM | | life does begin at 40, your body starts to pull a lot of crap with you but the good thing is that you become smarter and know of ways to overcome that, i feel that the age group of people somewhere middle aged between the years of 40-70 can be when you most have your act together, it is a time when you are taking care of the needs of both the younger and the elderly, and after being around the block many times and learning hard lessons in life you finally know what end is up, i think that many in the newer generations under-estimate the baby boomers, i for one am not ready for shuffle board... not any wheres near, so my anser is that what you lack in physical stature you gain in knowledge | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 8:10:16 AM | Sure...let's try on some other worn-out cliche's:
1. Life begins at forty (well, then, what's that Birth Certificate thingee?)
2. You're only as old as you feel (unless you have a family history of congenital heart failure or some other crippling/disabling genetic predisposition)
3. Lives life to the fullest (wtf does this mean?)
4. Loves to laugh (so...your other choice was "Loves to Frown"?)
5. I'm a great kisser and lover, or so I'm told (Who told you, and what's in it for them?)
6. [Enter your favorite hackneyed cliche' here]
Peace,
Schad | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 7:48:51 PM | | Virtually every area of my life is better at 45 than it was at 25, 35, or any year inbetween. Once I hit 40, everything got better. The only drawback, is in finding an intelligent, self disciplined and goal oriented appropriate match..... of course, that seemed virtually impossible earlier in life as well. | |

Posted: 10/4/2007 2:56:44 AM | It is not a myth....Life is a work in progress and attitude about yourself will determine how 40 will treat you.....As for myself, and I just turned 50, the cool things about reaching 40 are that you are smarter, wiser, you have learned to listen to your intincts, are more open about life in general. I even had my second son at 41.....you have a way to go, so just enjoy life and live each day to the fullest! | |

Posted: 10/5/2007 2:58:53 AM | Life at 40 OMG.
It is awesome.. the kids were almost gone. Life at 45 is even better, the kids are raised. I am starting to really see the fruits of my labor financially..My body is still in great shape. I still have the energy to do what I want.. But now the wisdom to think most things thru before I leap into the fire..
Hell yes life begins at 40..I am actually really curious what the 50's bring | |

My life has been a roller-coaster ride from the day I was born and I would not miss any partof it, the good, the bad nor the ugly. At 52 years old I still go dancing, still love to make love and still ride on the back of harley, go camping in a tent and enjoy every last second of every single day. | |
