So I stand amongst the cubes in my office and chit chat with co workers. Today, we are celebrating a birthday that is a few removed from 40 and he seems to be delighted at the birthday wishes but is concerned that 40 is only a couple years away. He says, "Forty is the death of a gay man," and I reply, "I can't wait to be 40. It'll be great!" And OMGosh... the swinging of heads in my direction created a wind stronger than the thunderstorms rolling through Atlanta today.
Why is 40 so bad?
Yes, I am excited to be 40 in 5 years. I feel I will be a FANTASTIC 40 year old. I have been very successful in all aspects of my life. I have a wonderful family with 3 adorable, healthy, happy children. I have a husband who loves and cares for me. I am fit and healthy. I have a great career with lots of momentum and opportunity. My breasts don't sag and I don't have wrinkles. So becoming 40 only means that I have 5 more great years to look forward to and when the day does arrive, I will proudly say I am 40.
