I am 42. Turning 40 was BRILLIANT! I never want to go back. I don't feel 42. i feel 16. I still find astonishing that some people I know my age have grown up children. i still look upon other adults as 'grown ups'. My 40's are fantastic. Whoever it was that said youth is wasted on the young was right. I don't fancy getting wrinkled and infirm but absoilutely no way would I want to be young again. Unless I could knock off twenty physical years but stay as I am now both mentally and spirtiually. Good things about my 40's:. Liking and accepting myself as I am not what others think I ought to be,, not giving a damn whether others like me or not, less horny, doing as I please instead of doing to please, wearing what makes me feel comfortable, speaking my mind instead of what I think you want to hear, having opinions of my own, having no family, having a God of my own understanding not someone else's, just being. bw colin
