Yep, when I get to 40 or now I'm past 40 I will be / was delighted just to have reached another milestone in my life !

The 40's were great for me. I was never better!

ajgodinho says:

I just turned 40, but I sure don't feel forty (whatever that "feels" like). Somehow, I've never thought too much of my age, I guess because I've always felt young inside...so to answer your question...yup, I sure am delighted and counting my blessings! ;)

Expressions says:

Being 40 is Fantastic!

lakeerieartists says:

40 seems so long ago. 50 will definitely be a milestone for me.

Michey says:

I think each edge has its beauty; the problem is to find that beauty! The edge is not a bunch of figures on a piece of paper; your true edge is the edge of your soul.

Whenever someone is getting older, he or she will also become wiser. So I delightful if I can translate my older age by becoming wiser person

rydigga says:

I am delighted. Age brings wisdom and each and every day I've been learning new things about myself.

Squidoo-Pat says:

I'm past it and doing better than ever. Things are just beginning to get interesting. The very young are ignorant because of lack of experience. When you've lived awhile you learn what works and what doesn't-saves your resources!

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Well, I did it a long time ago, wasn't sad then and not sad now.

Spook says:

I always thought just getting to thirty was reaching old age, then 40, then 50 and now am only 6 years away from 60. Funnily enough it has some compensations like not having to worry about dating. Just watching my children at the moment and TV programs and I say to myself, Thank God I don't have to worry about that any longer. Hope I make the next step.

Either reaching 40 or remembering it fills me with sadness !

I will simply stay 35 for the rest of my life. Jack Benny isn't the only one who can stay the same age.

sandyspider says:

I knew it was all down hill when I reach 25!

kiwisoutback says:

40 is scary to me...I'm blocking it out as we speak. I have 12 years to go, but right now I'm thinking of that big 3-0 that's staring me in the face.

poddys says:

I learned to deal with being 40, took a while, but I got over it. Reaching 50 was a lot harder to accept. Whereas 40 is really middle age, 50 is old. Well I finally learned to deal with being 50 as well. Now I'm 54 and struggling with the knowledge that 54 is practically halfway to 60, and we all know that 60 is seriously old.
