I'm over the age thing. I greet 42 today with a thankful heart. I am blessed with family and friends who love me. I still feel not a day older than 22 in spirit, yet I do like the person I am today at 42. What the years have robbed me of physically, I have gained in strength tenfold emotionally and mentally. Actually, when I think about it, physically, I don't get sick nearly as often as I did years ago. My body may not be perfect, but my immune system seems stronger, so maybe physically I haven't been completely robbed.
I'm just so grateful to be able to celebrate 42 years. To quote a favorite artist of mine, "Everyday above ground is a good one." Its so true. Even in trying times, we are still left with choices to make to try and improve our lives. Everyday we are given a chance for a do over. Life is a wonderful journey not a destination.
My birthday wish is for continued strength and health to help me on my journey. There is so much out there to learn about and enjoy. There are so many opportunities to shine my light.
There will always be challenges but I bend, not break. I saw that on a sign yesterday, it is better to bend than break. It certainly is true. I'm bending my branches around these hardships and continuing to grow.

I'm with you Dawn, age is just a number. I will be 40 next year and like you I feel like I'm in my 20s. As long as you take care of your body inside and outside, it will love you back. I think your birthday wish is precious. Have yourself a wonderful birthday, enjoy!
Dawn, Happy birthday!!! I hope you have a great day! I will be 40 in October and I'm actually looking forward to it!!

Happy Birthday!!! Have a great one
You have a great attitude!! It took me a little longer than 42 years to have that epiphany, but I have gotten older and wiser (I think!) and wouldn't go backwards for anything. Happy Birthday again!

Each year I feel better and better. Like you, I have an appreciation for what I've gained and what lies ahead of me!:o)
