I know I have
been gone for quite some time now. I have no excuses and honestly no reasons
why I quit writing. I guess I just did. However, I hope all of you who read me
before will read me again. Now on to the actual writing…
The
title 2020 = 40 may seem a little confusing, but it’s not. As always keep
reading and it will make sense. A little over a week ago I turned 40 and we are
in the year 2020.
Turning
40, was it supposed to be scary or life changing?
I
thought I would feel different turning 40, but there is no change. I am still
the same me as I was at 39. I also figured I would have anxiety about turning
40 with it being a new decade. And yet there was no anxiety.
I
have often heard people say that this and that was different when they turned
40. I am just here being me wondering where all the changes are. All the
preconceived notions of changes for me were no more than myths busted.
Therefore,
I am going to embrace the age I am every day and I encourage each of you to do
the same no matter what number you may be. And to me age is truly just a
number.
However,
it is up to us what we do with each of our numbers. 35, 60, 40 and so on. What
age are we going to start living instead of counting? How much will we miss out
on if we are concerned with the number, we are instead of what we are doing with
our particular number.
Live
life fully, try something new, make a new friend. Whatever it is you wish you
would have done last year try it this year. If you fail, then at least you know
you tried. If you don’t like it, then don’t do it again.
