		<description>Ha ha! If you think turning 40 is traumatizing, wait until you turn 50. Now, that&#039;s something odd! I still cannot believe I am in my 50s. I can barely say the word. It is a strange thing to look in the mirror and not recognize the face looking back at you. I don&#039;t care what anyone says, the 30s are way better than the 40s, 50s, and beyond. But it&#039;s better than the alternative. So keep on with that moisturizer, keep a smile on your face, and just keep going forward! You&#039;re only as old as you feel.
Enjoy your blog!
Sally
----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the encouraging words, Sally.  Some days I feel 30...other days I feel 60..lol!!  Glad you are enjoying my blog.  You are welcome anytime..come back soon ;)

		<description>Hi Robin,
Yes, a glass of red wine helps many things!  :-)
Maybe we *are* soul sisters...perhaps we knew each other in another life in Italy!

Kathy,
That would be perfect!  :)

		<description>Happy Birthday and welcome to a wonderful decade!  I mean it.  All the women I know in their 40s think it is by far the best decade they have been living.  I agree.  There is something about feeling good about yourself, coming into your own and loving yourself more.  It&#039;s a very powerful time in life.  Enjoy...oh, and you will reach your dreams - with persistent desire.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Oh, Jeni...Thank you so much for the words of hope and inspiration!  I do so hope that I love my 40&#039;s....your words help me to look forward to it!!!  Thanks for the birthday wishes ;)
xoxo

		<description>Happy birthday to a wonderful person.  Hey.......none of this &quot;I feel old turning 40&quot; nonsense because I&#039;m 58 !!!  As far as I&#039;m concerned, you&#039;re a youngster with practically your whole life ahead of you, and I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll have many terrific years of doing whatever makes you happy. You&#039;re so full of life, just like that darling Westie of yours. Best wishes on this very special day.
----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Susan!  I appreciate your warm wishes! I knew someone would put me in my place about whining about being old!  I&#039;m glad it was you!!! ;)

		<description>Happy Birthday to you!!
I&#039;m 35.  The hardest thing for me about getting older is worrying that I won&#039;t get to do all the things I want to do in this life.  That&#039;s why I&#039;m making a conscious effort to go to Italy as often as I can, and why I&#039;m in the process of changing careers from something I never wanted to do to something that I&#039;m going to enjoy.  I also wonder if I shouldn&#039;t have waited so long to have a baby.
But then I realize that everything happens the way it is supposed to, at the time it is supposed to, and I relax!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kathy,
Sounds like you and I think the same...maybe we are soul sisters!  I have no kids and am not married...and this past year have learned alot about what I want to with the rest of my life...and I think everyone has a grand plan!
Thanks for the kind words ;)  And about relaxing...a nice glalss of red wine usually doesn&#039;t hurt either!
xoxo
Robin
