You are going to live a long time. You are now a happy woman!!!!!

Good for you, I too liked my 40's I met my husband when I was 41, I was 41 when my daughter had my grandson. I was comfortable in my skin (and still got carded at bars..lol) Well the 50's haven't been so great, but I am here..and that's what counts. You GO you have the tiger by the tail!!

Bonnie

I agree with you, the 40's never really felt any different than the 30's. It feels really great to be satisfied with yourself.

The 50's are creeping up. Maybe too fast. Oh Well, It's only a number.

Good For You!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like if I blogged "what I know at 35", it would be a very short entry. Most of the time I feel like a teenager is spirit (and an old lady in body). So far no birthdays have really got me down, but I hope that I feel as comfortable as you when I start the next decade of my life.

sounds like you're finally doing what you want to do.

you go,girl! rock on! , and f***k them if they can't take a joke

i never cared what was conventional and what people thought about me until i was in the middle of my residency and i thought that i had to 'fit in' because people that i was working with disapproved of my attitude. when i went into private practice, i made friends, ran my business, and married somebody who looked like someone that my parents and society would approve of (a nice Jewish lawyer).

it took me having a stroke to wake up and figure out that that was not me.

so now, i'm married to a really nice Italian longshoreman with a GED, bleached blond hair,tattoos, body piercings, an addiction to drugs and alcohol (using since age 10, sober 8 1/2 years). i work part time, gross over $100,000/year , have two friends that are doctors (one's gay, one's 'retired' to care for her two daughters and her aging, demented mother) and many other friends that are not, also have tattoos and body piercings and bleached blond hair , and i'm happier than i've ever been.

about Green Day...'American Idiot' is one of the best albums i've heard in years. they won the best rock video and the best video of the year (for 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams') at the Music Video Awards.

i LOVE your attitude.. keep on doing what you're doing.

Hey, Sandy, if all your friends have tattoos, body piercings and bleached hair does that make you all conformists?

Jean

Jean

i can't say...because except for my friend's little sister, who has both a tattoo and a nose piercing,and my friend's cousin, who has a lot of light blonde streaks bleached into her light brown hair, they don't have any that you mention. my friends dye/streak their hair in 'sensible' colors.

if they did, though, there's always Manic Panic...did i ever tell you about the time that i was dyeing my hair pink over the blonde...

sandy

i don't feel 41,but i am sprouting gray hairs finaly,but that's not gonna make me like green day (i just asume listen to john denver,pansy mall punk crap! ha,ha,) i guess i am that old
