Darn it.
Although I quite liked this quote:
“40, contrary to public opinion, is not “the new 30″….turning 40 is about settling into, knowing and celebrating oneself better than ever.”
Well, I guess that doesn’t sound so bad. Although settling has never been one of my favourite words, unless it applies to settling down to a good book. It has such connotations of giving up, of second best.
Anyway, this quote came from my hunting down of others turning 40, and it’s good to know I share this milestone with AASECT. Which is not some snappy online name, but is apparently the American Assocation of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.
Funny, don’t remember any of those being on the careers choices when I was at school. Could have made those sessions a whole lot more fun if they had! Anyway, my thanks to Joy at AASECT for the quote, I shall have to see if I can a) live up to it and b) not think settled is a negative word.
But as she gives the grown-up, improved version of the ladies from Sex and the City as role models, then I guess it’s not all bad news.
At least the shoes will be good.
