So...good for you!
Got mine at 41--also a butterfly and for very similar reasons. It's in a very private place that no one can see unless I decide to share it. I've had it 10 years and have never regretted it.

It was very empowering to me as well. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. Share a pic when it's done if you feel comfortable doing so.
