Forty here I am! Today I join the ranks of all the other fortysomethings. I have heard many people complain about it or say they are gradually getting used to the idea of turning the big 4 0 and frankly I don’t get it. I am saying goodbye to my thirties and it is a big change.

Mostly people try to avoid it, but you absolutely can’t. It happens to us all and now it’s just my time to go through it.

Honestly, I am absolutely embracing it. I think I am in a good place in life, I have a good job, a beautiful wife, and hopefully soon we will be adopting a child. I am also doing more things that I enjoy; I joined a Pipe band and am learning how to play the bagpipes, something I have always wanted to do.

I don’t see turning 40 as a mile stone, or a grave stone. I see it as the beginning of the rest of my life, I am going to enjoy these next years, however many there will be, I will live them to the fullest!

It’s going to be a great year, I can feel it!
