    Indeed, a paradigm shift, a crisis, new knowledge, many things can happen that can speed up life and retard it as well, like jehovah's witnesses. Sometimes I feel that my mid life crisis came at thirty in anticipation of what 40 would be like. At 40 now ,I wouldn't call it a crisis, but I am certainly more aware than ever of lost time, potential, and regrets. It is now options reduction, moreso than options enhancement. My anger has subsided too, mostly because I just don't have the physical energy to keep bitching. I'm also still trying to adjust my attitudes on the world and judge less. Got a clearer sense of what really matters now. When I finally get it all figured out they'll be throwing dirt in my face.

    I haven't been able to get on jwd for a couple of days so my countdown will now continue:-

    25 DAYS TILL MARIE IS 40

    23 DAYS TILL PEPPERMINT IS 40

    20 DAYS TILL HEMP LOVER IS 40

    20 DAYS TILL SIMON IS 40

    Also while I'm on the subject of turning 40 are any of the above mentioned people doing anything special on the actual day? Or anyone reading this thread who is already past 40, what did you do? Now we're able to celebrate in style we really should!

    I will be in Paris for my 40th. My hubby (South African Beef) is treating me to 2 nights at the George V hotel. It's pure luxury there and I can't wait!!!!

    Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I have more aches and pains. I have to watch how I eat, sleep, move or else I pay, pay, pay. Nevertheless, I'd much rather be a fortysomething mamma who knows her own business than a twentysomething chickie unsure in her own skin.

    I want to countdown with all of you! January 30th is when I turn the big 4-0...but I've joined the 40 is the new 20 club.

    Regrets are not having children and all the years involved in that religion...you know the one. Anyway, thanks to everyone here, I see many more positives in my life and lots of potential for wonderful things to come in the future.
