40 - Half Over or Half Begun?

Today I am 40. I don't quite like it.

40 rings on a tree is not alot
But 40 candles on a cake will melt the icing

40 yellow tulips are stunning
40 gray hairs is not a pretty sight

40 shades of floss make a pretty sight
40 days & 40 nights is a lot of rain

40 minutes of pain is an eternity
40 minutes of laughter goes by in an instant

40.....its all relative

    Is today your birthday?! If so, many happy returns of your day...and to answer your musing, it's half begun! BTW, I got your request for a stamped post card. I actually have it, with a stamp from St. Croix, but I did not mail it because they were not certain of the postage. If you still like, I could put it in an envelope and mail it to you. Just let me know!

  6. Happy Birthday!! I'm 40 also, and it does really feel like part of my has ended. It's almost like a clean slat to start anew, and this time we get to choose what we will become.
