Who’d a thought! Well, the anticipated 40 has come and gone and I feel very much the same. Some of my conversations have changed and now include words like “Colonoscopy”, “Mammogram”, “receding gums”, “receding hair”, “grey hair”, “crows feet”, (that ones not knew).
I spent my happy 40th with my favorite people, my family! We all ran a 5k, yes all of us!! My sweet sister made signs for everyone that said “My mom is 40 and fabulous today!” or “My Aunt Kath is 40 and Fabulous”, My Wife…, My Sister…, you get the idea. And it wasn’t just a 5 k; our 5 k included pull ups, push ups and squats. Sam (my 4 year old) and I were the third to last to come in and Sam actually had to be picked up by the sweeper, (But only the last block) which was the best part of the whole race for him, the sweeper was the owner (Neil) on his Harley, Sam was ecstatic! The best part for me, as I said before, was being with my favorite people doing one of my favorite things.
