What I Did on My 40th Birthday
A picture is worth 1000 words
I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday in a big way. Since I'm in the camp that believes life may not start at 40, but it sure doesn't end there either, I wanted to do something I'd never done before. It was either a tattoo or skydiving. Since I couldn't think of anything I'd still want to see on my sagging body when I was 80, I chose jumping out of an airplane. Woohoo!! And Now a Word from Ogden Nash...
Happy 39th Birthday... Again!

40th Birthday Quotes
If you need some inspiration for the card...
40 isn't old... if you're a tree.
At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn't thinking of us at all.
Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Birthdays are good for you - the more you have the longer you live!
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. - Les Brown"
