Life begins at 40, huh. Not if you're John Lennon.

Would you rather be 50 at the moment, then? Or 60? 70? 80 maybe?... You've got lots of time ahead of you.. stop wasting time complaining and go live your life.

I'm rapidly heading that way too. At least when you are 40 you will really stand out in a crowd - of young people!! ;-D

well, wen you turn 50 you'll wish you had been happy at 40...

AND you can always tell ppl you're turning 55 so they say "ohh you look so young!!"

Hey don't be down bout it. Another day older is another day wiser, and anyway, face the facts, you could be turning 70!

You're still the same person you when you turn 40...exactly the same as when you're 39.

Some people see it as a milestone in life but i don't know why - it's only like turning 39 etc. You're not suddenly gonna look all old an wrinkly because you're 40. Besides, you might still have another 50 years to come.

Oh and Happy Birthday!

:)

Hey! I'm 43..... life really does begin! Nothing to worry about at all - keep smiling, the wrinkles only set in on miserable people, laughter lines are forgiving!

It sure beats the alternative.

60 is the new 40.

After 40, it's patch, patch, patch.

as they said on Friends, it's better to be over the hill than to be buried under it. don't worr about it, 40 is like the new 20. and it's not like you're going to wake up on your 40th birthday and feel any different from the day b4, when you were just 39.

Just realized...this ain't so comforting. sorry!

I know I dont look 44 so who cares live for today because you never know whats round the corner, just think of all those people on that plane and think how lucky you are

Consider the alternative.

I must admit I got a bit depressed just before I turned 40 last year, only because I remember school and teenage friends like it was yesterday, where has 22 years gone? Will the next 22 go as fast?

Then I felt guilty and a little selfish as lots of people die or become really sick before they reach 40 and they would happily swap with me. I'm healthy and have a roof over my head. So I got over myself and got on with life.

Happy birthday for next week :)

Hope this helps.
