Countdown To Forty

I have been sitting here thinking about all of the things that I want to do before I reach forty. Well you know the new thirty, hell at least that is what everyone is telling us. (me personally I think that forty is forty it's just some people that are like I want to stay young forever. Well sweetie keep living it ain't gonna happen we are all going to get older.
Here is an example. I woke up a few days ago and put back on my glasses and retired my contacts in the medicine cabinet! Talk about flashback to awkward high school days.
The other example is that I am not real stressed out about what you think and I am finding it easier and easier to tell you I don't give a damn with a kind tone in my throat.
I have a friend that by all accounts does not look forty at all but he worked hard at it and is clear that he looks and feels better than he did when he was in his early thirties. I say you go boy! So I know I have already started working out on a daily basis even if it is nothing but ten minutes a day with sparkpeople.com on youtube.com.
Let me be clear on one thing. I am not afraid of forty, by no means, I just want to make sure that I understand that there are some things I need to do to keep myself up. I don't want to LOOK a hot mess when I don't have to.
Now is the time to do some other things like check finances and other things that need my immediate attention in case of of this like dare I say it "DEATH". Hey I have children I need to think of them.
I mean it's a reality some of us don't want to face. I talked about that when I did my "Mind Your Own Business" series a while back on my blog as well as other things.
So this week as always I'm back on the grind talking about getting your stuff together even though I know its a given, sometimes I like to remind you and myself that we need to stay on top of things like this.
On a lighter note I hope forty will be kind to me as it was to my dad and my grandmother who took very good care of themselves. We will see and if not I'm going to get a bit of help from a needle and a scalpel, how bout that!?

Til next time,
