Just the numbers scared me. 4-0. Like I was now officially an adult. Thing is, I don't feel like I'm old, nor do I act it. Maybe that is one of the benefits of working with children and coaching. Being around my own teenagers keeps me in tune with what is happening as well. The numbers, though, they haunt me. I can now see why women reach 39 and remain there for years. I was in serious denial about this last birthday but luckily there were five others on our staff who either turned 40 or 50 within a few weeks. We decided to throw this huge party with gag gifts only and I have never laughed so hard in my life. This whole age thing reminds me of the first line of A Tale of Two Cities...It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I hate the fact that my body is ageing, but as Colin mentioned, have never felt so comfortable in my saggy old skin! Take care! Sue Cameron
