As for turning 40...

It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. My husband took me to the ballet. I’ve never done that. It was worth it in every possible way. 

I was given a delicious carrot cake and when the kids asked if they could put 40 candles in it I said “no way...only 1.” I might be in denial.

The kids asked if we could do a human pyramid...and I agreed. I might be trying to prove something. 

No matter which way you look at it...I’ve lived 40 years. I can either cry and wish I were younger or I can recognize that Every smile line tells a story about all the times my husband and children and those I love have made me laugh. I’ll take that over a younger version of myself any day.
