:hug: a happy day to you!

I hated turning 35 last month, I'm never bothered by my age, as I look reasonably young for my age,
but this year was like:
.....halfway to 70....halfway to 70 & still an underachiever :cry::cry::cry:

but hey-ho.
I'm not going to let it disturb me so much next year.

I turned 36 in october and I'm pregnant and keep thinking I will have a 4 year old when I'm 40. But I'm not really that bothered cos I know when I get to my 40's I would have regretted not having another child.

I am actually looking forward to my 40th birthday. I loved my 30th. As long as you have friends the same age - its not quite so painful I think.

And if you keep thinking your near to the grave - make sure you enjoy life and live it to the full . If you think years ago women in their 30's looked in their 50's and 40's in their 60's - it looks like we are doing something right.

I am only 18 months behind you Glynis, cant say any birthday has made me depressed but not looking forward to the F word, but hey, you cant change it and you my love, certainly do not look it or act it:hug:

You're as old as you feel and woman come of age at 40 ... everything I have achieved, apart from my children, I did after 40 ... it is an empowering time I think.

I do NOT like turning 30!! Something about not being in my 20's anymore !! But all the rest of the decades (and there have been 3 more) I have really loved being alive.

Enjoy, Glynis ... every day every minute. None of us knows what's round the corner and now is what is important.

My 30th didn't bother me, it seemed to bother my younger sister that I was reaching that milestone more than me, but my 40th, well, I took it really bad, just wanted to be 20 again, nearly split with my partner of 20+ years because of how badly it affected our relationship, but he pulled me through it, bless him, on another note I'm a bit paranoid about dieing early, as my mom was 51 and my dad 65, but hopefully I will get through this aswell, just hope my kids are in their 20s -30s before my time comes :|

I was desperately upset when I reached my 30th I don't mind admitting I did "CRY" like a baby. :cry:
It might have had something to do with the fact that when I was 27 I somehow managed to think I was 26 for a whole year and so was shocked when my next birthday came along and my mum wrote in my card "Happy 28th Darling" . I rang her up saying "mum your memory is going already!" when all along it was mine!
It was a very stressful year for me though thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it! lol.

I am 52 and 11/12ths and have come to terms with it.

I really, really, really, hated my 50th birthday, it seriously upset me but I really don't know why. I went on to do my Creative foundation course that year and found a whole new world and this site........certainly helped me feel more my old self.:lol:

 

[lilly]

i didnt mind turning 40 but now i am 41 it's all going too quickly, i feel old

 

[Carole.B]

Well they say 50 is the new 30's, although i wish someone would tell my knee's:lol:..xx

 

[suzie49]

I hated being 30 cried like a baby, in fact I hated all my 30's. couldnt wait to be 40 and loved it, didnt look my age was single and had a ball, even turning 50 didnt really faze me much. I'm 52 now and still loving it.
Have a great birthday, and look on it as another begining. Plus you look amazing anyway chick, so no one would ever guess...xx

 

[*Ang*]

Ditto everything the girls have already said Glynis. Age is a just a number and I have to say you certainly don't look your age :hug: I hit the big 40 next year but I'd much rather be this age than 20 years younger. I'm inspired by Geegs words of wisdom too - today is the first day of the rest of your life...no matter how old you are

oh....HAPPY BIRTHDAY by the way - HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY :hug:​

 

[Urban Geek]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLYNIS! xxx:hug:​

None of this not enjoying being 40 malarky! I wish I was just turning 40. You look fab so don't worry about the numbers, it is how you feel and your attitude to life. You have loads of energy, look great and everything to look forward to as well so stop being negative and hit the 40s with style. Go girl!:green:​

 

[deanosnana]

Well they say 50 is the new 30's, although i wish someone would tell my knee's:lol:..xx

I'm literally LOL over your post. I can barely make it up/down the stairs. Every step is ouch, ouch, ouch...

Happy Birthday!

The birthday that bothered me the most was 20. I laugh now when I think back on it. It really bothered me going from my teens to 20, which seemed SO adult. LOL! Now, I wish...

Seriously, I'm 52 and while turning 50 seemed 'old' (it IS just a number after all), I'm still the same me! It does help that folks guess me to be about 10 years younger. When I'm out with Deano (my GRANDson) people think I'm his mom...

Enjoy your day! XOXO

PS: You ARE too sexy to be old! :hug:

 

[*JOANNE*]

the birthday that bothered me most was 30....i felt sad leaving my twenties...and like most of us spent my 20's cleaning up baby pooh and puke so i think i mourned not having my twenties as such (as much as i worship my 3 boys and love them so much)......i will be 40 in a few years and i am looking forward to it.....becasue i know i will be entering a new phase of my life a more independant life.....my boys older and less dependant and i can start my new adventures....

 

[Deena]

I found each new decade a bit thought provoking, but never devastating. I know I have to accept what I can't change and make the best of it. Life has been extremely kind to me with this one. I became engaged on my 50th and married just after my 51st, this summer just gone.

I have to say that I 'Do' know I'm getting older in terms of my energy levels, but I'm in a much happier place now and with so much more to look forward to. I just want to make the most of everything and really appreciate how my life has changed for the better.

 

[choc choc]

I didnt like turning thirty I was so depressed, but I am looking forward to my 40th I am looking forward to the saying life begins at 40.

 

[Nailsinlondon1]

Glynis huni, dont cry you have turned fab 0 not five 0.........
None of my birthdays have ever made me cry, each decade has just become more exiting and stuff that is happening to me now, I wouldn't have appreciated at 20 or 30 or even 40 ......
So remember when somone asks how old you are just say Oh I am "FAB O"

Happy Fab O birthday babe xxxx

I don't care what age i am as long as im healthy enough to enjoy it.That is truly what is important, i have so many people around me with cancer, altzeimers,depression ,heart trouble and they are all sorts of ages not just old so ive come to the conclusion if you have your health you have everything.
