Many of my friends are turning forty too this year. Not everyone's happy. There are people feeling depressed, because thinking of the looming birthday makes them feel soooooo old.
I guess attitude is everything.

The Big Four Oh is a milestone but still a youthful one! That quotation is right on.
Amen... attitude is everything! As long as your years count then it's not their length but breadth that counts... says she who has passed the big 5 Oh.
Natasha - You are so right! Attitude is what really matters. It's not where you've been; it's where you are and where you're headed now...
Birthdays are just numbers to collect. It's what you do with them that counts. I have almost 65 and I'm enjoying every one.
Glad you're excited. I didn't handle it too well. Better now though.
Absolutely, Nutty... It is a year that will come and go. Can we wish to remain always a particular age - doesn't that mean the opposite of life, which is all about growing?
Ha, that´s the spirit.
I turned fifty in February. And I enjoyed celebrating it with friends and family - apart from that, the only difference is that I am more determined to be a writer because I don´t want to look back when I´m hundred, regretting that I didn´t try.
I loved turning 40. Strangely turning 41 was harder :)
It's all up-hill from there, baby!

I just turned 40 and was okay with it. It's just weird to think I am now considered "older". Don't feel it!
