40! 40! 40! 40! 40! 40! 40! 40! 40! 40! 40!

Yes, this past Friday I turned 40! I have not stressed out about it like I thought I would, maybe it will kick in later. Head Coach had to work, the boys went to a Stars game with their Uncle, so my Sister & I took our girls & went to dinner. The weather was definitely against us. We got totally soaked on the way into the restaurant. Dinner was great & thankfully no one told the waitstaff that it was my birthday. My Mother had called from New Mex. to sing me Happy Birthday and that I was getting "OLD", but I had to remind her that she was the mother of a 40 year old. She laughed but quit saying I was old. The past few days I have been thinking about this "Monumental" day in my life. Some people have lists of what they want to do before their 40th. I have been blessed to do many things, travel through Europe, climb the Great Wall, have 3 great kids. I believe my list is going to be the things I want to accomplish to improve myself. Learn a new language, reach out to others, etc. Looking back on my life, there is nothing I would change about it. There are things I wish had turned out differently, some things I wish I had not said or done, but I have learned from my mistakes & accomplishments. WOW, look what I have done in 40 years, just think what I can do with the next 40, 50, 60!
