hey bluetree

i am 46 and reckon 40's rock dont stress the single thing (yeah, i now that's easy to say when you have a wonderful guy like mine), but i felt the same way about turning 30 that you do about 40.... and i started going out with DH a week before i turned 30 .. .sure picked up my 30th for me .

I guess my point is, i was happy on my own and wasnt looking for someone, and then poof, it just happened.

Having said all that, i would go back to my thirties for anything. I much prefer being 40 something. It's just great to be at a age where you know you matter . And i never felt that before my 40s.

You sound like a beautiful, healthy strong woman. Is there anything better than that no matter what age you are? Celebrate that and dont give the "number" a thought.
