40 is hip. 40 is cool. 40 is the prime of life. 40 is enough experience to be knowledgeable about things, to have some wisdom, to be able to make big decisions. 40 is to have a wonderful wife and great kids. 40 is doing entertaining, challenging, cool recreation with children and youth (camping, theme parks, the beach). 40 is to be tech-savvy. 40 is to be fit. 40 is doing fun home improvement projects. 40 is claiming 80s music as your music. 40 is to be smart. 40 is to have a cool job. 40 is being able to interact in fun, but authoritative, ways with teenagers. 40 is having friendships with a rich history. 40 is to have well-reasoned opinions informed by the perspective of experience. 40 is to have mature faith. 40 is... well... 40 is so much better than 25 was.

I love this! Great outlook! Matter of fact this reminded me to be grateful. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm only 36, not 40, but I have to agree with the sentiment. When I was a child and teen I thought that my college years would be the prime of my life--ha! It just keeps getting better.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, can't wait to be 40!
