A wonderful list, Shelia! Very few people get everything they want out of life. The key is seeing the good in what we do have.

Great TT! Loved #13! That is something that I’ve learned to hold true over the years. Each day is a gift from God..live it and treasure it as though it is a gift.

What an auspicious TT debut! There is so much you say here that is wise I can’t choose a single one to praise. Thanks for sharing (and thanks for visiting my TT).

Welcome to TTing! Congratulations on surviving your first one. I will repeat what everyone has said – I love being 40. Clearly, from your TT, I don’t need to tell you why.

Happy TT!

Thanks Jan. I keep hearing the 40s are fabulous.
Ruth – I agree. #2 needs to be ingrained in all of our heads.
ZenMomma – I look forward to it. If I only knew in my 20s what I know now I would have saved my self some heartaches.
Prettylifeonline – you got my vote. Hope you win.
SandyCarlson – thank you for those kind words. People don’t mean any harm but I get lots of questions-why don’t you have kids. It used to bother me but it doesn’t anymore.
Jennifer C – Amen
Susan Helene Gottfried – Susan, they’re just jealous–keep hanging from those monkey bars as long as you’re physically able.
Jennie –
Lori – lol…Yes the word “No” seems to be foreign to some people so when you say it, they look at you all strange.
Gwyneth – Thanks. We live and learn (well we’re supposed to…smile)

I love this list! All I can say is if we can all learn these things before 40 the world just might be filled with happier people.

much love and peace,

Gwyneth

I’ve been in denial of hitting my 40s for years now. If I (now all too rarely) get carded by a pimple-faced teen at the grocery store, you’d think I’d won the lottery. *G*

And I try to do #8, but nobody ever seems to listen.
