Gettin Older - over the fourth hill

The reality of being tired and older

The joy of having a bright cake with my name on it.

So, I had a birthday. One of the "big birthdays." I don't feel different.

I have wrinkles, gray hair (or is it grey), and fat in weird places.

The online coupons that come my way are for 50% off hair coloring, AARP memberships and vitamins to increase my bone density.

Wow. When did this happen?

Time flies and I have to ask myself - am I having fun?

In many ways, yes, my life is fulfilling.

In other ways, I want to change who I am a little more to who I'm supposed to become.

Today on a walk I was listening to a motivational book. One of the thoughts talked about how we are a product of our deepest beliefs about ourselves. It was elegantly stated in the storyline and caused me to reflect, yet again, on any beliefs I have that hold me back.

This year has already had a lot of change. Change that had to have come from some deep beliefs that changed and were finally realized.

Now I'm ready to tackle more.

The numbers are a little too tangible

So, here's to being 40 and not at all old. And, yes, I am going to go use the hair coloring coupon this next week...though the gray hair may make me more credible at the next conference I need to speak at, don't you think?
