Here’s a few reasons that I KNOW for a fact that 40 is NOT over the hill…
10. I did not feel one bit different when Internet 40. In fact, it was more difficult for me to turn 30.
9. I looked better when I turned forty than I looked when I turned 35.
8. I have worked harder to “maintain” after forty than I worked throughout my thirties.
7. I have two kids under the age of 10. That’s not what people who are this close to retirement do, right?
6. My husband thinks I’m sexy.
5. I can lift my weight in garbage, tired kids, laundry, and toys. This is not the sign of weakness.
4. I have received more compliments about my wisdom since I’ve turned 40.
3. I can go on four hours of sleep with my magical hair tie and good coffee.
2. I have had more attention from my doctor this past year than the whole past four years combined.
1. I get to wear a special boot and have special medicines, and get special therapy to keep myself going strong every day.
40 is not over the hill. Over the hill implies sailing along on a joy ride, having a great time, soaring and the giggling as your stomach “drops”. No, 40 is like hitting a wall, face first, at a hundred miles an hour with no seatbelt. And it may take special shoes, a boot, new meds and therapy, but I will kick serious butt in my 40’s. Because I’m no wimp. I’m just tired. And 40 is not over the hill!
