DZ recent post in her Facebook:

“i know this may sound odd, but i can't wait to be 40. i enjoyed my 20s - i travelled, worked, danced, even tried acting, wrote - but my 30s have been, whoo. quite a ride. MA, marriage, divorce, a book, illness; there have been good times of course but the ride has been too dramatic.

i'm ready to be in my 40s. mum said her second beginning of her life began in her 40s.

10 more months. “

Afriend - hit the nail on the head! with his comment:

Great topic! I was bloody cocky in my 20's and thought I knew everything then when i hit my 30's, I ate humble pie and conceded that I knew nothing. Yes, I'm looking forward to turning 40, with all my accumulated knowledge and wisdom, perhaps 40 onwards, my life would not be so tumultuous and if it is, I would know how to handle it.

Among others:

As with M and many others ;-) 40 is the new 20. ;-) 30 was traumatic. But 40 was FUN! Was in the water in Sipadan on my 40th. What more could a guy ask for. ;-)

I felt great turning 40. I felt I had achieved all that I'd wanted - a great job, a kid, a house, financial comfort, had proven myself to everyone else and being comfortable in my own skin. All the angst in getting those things transpired in my 30s.

Turning 40 meant, I could lie back and enjoy life as it came.

I celebrated by buying myself the Canon SLR you see me lugging everywhere.

Aaaannnd:

I am 24 going on 25, and was worried about "moving on" with age especially when I graduated college (I know, I know, drama queen...). Don't need to worry lah, as the postings here can bear testament to :)

My response was:

Been there, done that and LOVE it!

As Red Planet reminded me yesterday:

“You should count your blessing!”

Yup, and I have never forgotten what God has given me.

I thank YOU, GOD!

Amin.
