I tend to look at things a little differently than most. When I turned 30, I felt that it sounded younger than 29. When you are 29, you are almost done with your 20's. At 30, you are BARELY into your 30's and you have a whole brand new decade in front of you. At the time, I was single and unemployed and yet all I could think about was all the possibilities ahead of me!

Now I'm also coming up on turning 40 (in 13 months), and I kind of feel the same way. 39 seems like it's barely hanging on to a decade that is basically over. 40 is new and exciting. Plus, I can't wait to be able to say "I'm 40" and have peole gush over how I don't look like I'm in my 40's!!

Celebrate!!
