...and I'm 40 today too!

Post by splinters »

Woohoo...or whoah? Haven't decided yet. Don't feel any different but I feel like changing a few things, like a big New Year's resolution. A lot of things I do habitually, I am re-evaluating. Little things like cancelling subscriptions to magazines I hardly read. But I am also re-evaluating career and lifestlye.

Mid life crisis? No way.
Time for a rethink...too right!

Happy Birthday Splinters, happy holidays and related.

People should review their lifes each year, looking for problems. But we can really evaluate a life when we experience enough things. And as far I know you, you seems to experienced a lot of things. But we can't just live in the past remembering from the good moments, we need to move on e plan new and big things!

So again Happy Birthday and Holidays! Merry Christmas too! :bananaclaus:

About to be 40 or 50 or..... what ever.

Before I went 50 I felt as beeing a very old man. But when i passed my 50 years birthday everything become as usual.

The thing is that when I look in the mirror I see an ageing man. I don't recognise myself. I feel young inside and the mirror image doesn't be in accordance with my inner age.

I'm still about 30-40 years of age inside and that feels very nice. I have to avoid mirrors.

I have forgotten:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Splinters! Enjoy your birthday.

Re-evaluating things is good. Boxer Mohammed Ali (Cassius Clay) said something smart: "The man who views the world at 50 the same way he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." Good for 40 years as well.

Happy Birthday Splinters! :bananacool2:

Decade birthdays are a wonderful time to re-evaluate - we are never too old to change. Cancel those useless and unread magazines! Thanks for the great idea - I am going to do that too. Ice Fishing Quarterly? That one I will keep!

Enjoy this wonderful day!

patti :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY splinters!!

(interesting phrase Finis)
Having thought long and hard abt the concept (45 here), it isn't a 'crisis'; it's an honest effort to do/be better, after having a bunch of actual life facts to go by.
It's a very good thing... re-evaluating

All the best to you Paul. Your heart seems young, and you're doing good things. Keep it goin' :)
