I have waited for this the last 100 days or so. I kept a count down widget on my desktop. Today it displayed fireworks. I am officially over the 40 years barrier….. and …….. there is no difference to 39. So far.
I guess I went trough different faces the last few months
Indifference
From
Not barely being aware of my age and honestly not thinking about it.
to
Realizing in (specially) while doing sports, that a teenager can beat you
Denial
From
"Age is not important, it is how young I feel".
"I am not old, I am just getting more mature"
to
"Midlife-crisis is a myth
to
"Help!!! I am getting bold
Devastation
From
"my youth has faded, I am old" to "I’m going to die"!
to
"This is the last day of my life"
God give me grace to face the next forty years!
… and to all you out there hitting forty soon, it is actually not that bad after all.
