I've just joined the site today and am very glad to see a 40's something message board. I look forward to stopping by and getting pointers on how to best use this site.
I am 42 and proud of it! I wouldn't go back to my 20's or 30's for anything. I have worked hard to get where I am at 42 and, frankly, I am quite happy at this place in my life. I feel sexier now than I ever did when I was younger. I guess the saying that you get better with age is really true!
I'm 46 and somedays I remember being twenty and I'm glad I'm headed into another direction. I'm fabulous in my forty's. Can't wait to see what the future holds.
Isn't 40 supposed to be the new 20? I like my 40's better than my 20's in a lot of ways. Maybe it's a chance to do that "if I knew then what I know now" thing lol
That's 'cause we is OLD!!! LOL!! Just kidding!! I love being in my forties and would not go back to my twenties if you paid me. I wouldn't want to revisit many of my experiences of the past. And yes, many of them were painful, but as the saying goes, what does not kill us, makes us stronger!! So emotionally, I can press a 50-ton truck, now.
So I say, bring on the Metamucil, Geritol and prune juice--the elixirs of the Golden Age!!
