So it seems that when a woman turns forty, she is expected to roll over and play dead! A forty year old man is said to get "better with age"...Double standards? YES! I am forty two, and I feel that I am better at everything now than when I was twenty something, or thirty something.....I feel better physically and personally I look great! (lol) My mental acuity is much more enhanced..I'm a much better test taker than when I was in college and statistical data seems to make more sense now than before....So, in my opinion turning forty was like turning on a very bright light bulb......I have no fears of speaking my mind about what I want, need, and what I am willing to do to achieve it...It brings new meaning to "Saying what you mean". I feel that my journey is now begining, I have more goals now that I am eager to accomplish and I don't see myself slowing down any time soon....There is a certain comfort that I feel at this point in knowing I have experienced many things, but there's more that I am willing to experience.
How do you feel about this subject?
I agree! I too think that we have reached an age and stage where we are more comfortable within our skin. We careless about what others think of us. We don't feel the pressure of having something to prove (to someone else) unless it is to ourselves. We value and cultivate relationships that are important and mutally rewarding and develop a severe allergy to DRAMA. Most importantly we are better than we were decades before!
