Normally I wouldn't announce my birthday on my blog, but I turned 40 today...yikes! Everyone over 40 who reads my blog...feel free to encourage me!
No, I don't really like the idea of being 40. My husband will be 40 next year, and it doesn't bother him at all. I guess it's because 40 is just that much closer to 50, and time seems to be going by faster and faster the older I get. But anyway, I have so much to be thankful for. I have 3 wonderful children and a happy marriage. I'm glad that my kids are still young...at least right now at this moment. Most people my age have teenagers and young adults already. I'm thankful for each minute I have to spend with my children, and I wouldn't trade this day, this time I have right now, for any earlier time when I was young. I'm on an adventure--living in another country, homeschooling my kids, getting to experience so many wonderful memories. So I'm not really complaining. My life is wonderful, even though I'm 40. : ) And I expect my adventure to continue at least another 40 years!
Oh Happy Birthday Debbie! I'm turning 39 next month...but I will be 40 before my husband too. Not really looking forward to that. I would have NEVER guessed you were 40! You still look like a young 20-something mom!
ReplyDeleteThanks! : )
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I love birthdays and presents and cake, so I'm a big believer in announcing my birthday or anybody else's birthday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy another 40 years!
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteLife begins at 40. Since my 40th just over 6 years ago, I've had two more children, started home education and moved.
Hi Debbie, I was sure I left you a happy birthday somment but maybe it didn't go through. I hope you had a wonderful day.
