I will be turning 40 this year along with some friends I went to Junior High and High School with and a couple of "newer" friends, we are planning a trip to Arizona. I definitely need a vacation and what better time when I'm turing 40 to realize how Fabulous being 40 is going to be :).

I will be 40 in September....I feel like I'm 25! I can remember oh too well when I was 25 and thinking that 40 was way old! LOL I don't know what my plans are going to be just yet....maybe a girls trip to Vegas??? Anyone in? That's ALWAYS fun.=)

Bette Midler was on Oprah the other day and she said her 50's were the best years ever. . . something to look forward to!

I am 22, and I already feel 40. Hopefully I'll invert, and feel 25 when I'm 40, too. Not 70. We'll see how it goes, I guess!

You know what they say... the 40s are the new 20s (or something like that...) I turned 40 last August and I love it...started doing Bikram Yoga and I feel younger than ever. There is a certain freedom and pride to being 40! Cheers!

I  do not often worry about the "number" of my age....I feel great about being 41...and never worried about turning 30, 40...and prob will not care about 50, 60 either!  

First I want to say Happy Birthday.. I also heard that the 40's are the new 20's.. I am in my twenties and I say have fun.. I always have fun. I through a friend a surprise party fir 25th b-day. I seen the most awesome candle so I had to get it for her..It was a grave stone that said over the hill and played the music. dun dun dund dund. Well I am not sure if I spelt the tune right. Either way I am sure you know what I meant. She is not over the hill and neither are you.. Just remember how stella got her groove back.. Enjoy your b-day!!!!!!!!!!!1

No matter how many masks, creams and spas you use wrinkles will eventually show when  age is advanced enough. I have seen vibrant, beautiful ladies with crow's feet and smile lines. They are happy, humorous and constantly busy, doing for others. I know one who is married to a man 10 years younger - they couldn't be happier. I have known this relationship when they were still dating and getting to know each other.The West has such an over-obssesion with age and beauty. It truly sad.

Hi I'm new to this but I was interested in it because like many of you I have turned 40 this year Also.

Turning fourty wasnt so great for me because I caught the flu along with Bronchitis. It really sucked. I kinda took it as me being really depressed cause I was out of work for a week. I don't ever get sick either. It was aweful. I'm over it now and bck to work thank god! I guess I havnt realized I'm fourty yet.

I just turned 40 this  June.  Let me tell you, you couldn't pay me to go back to my 20's.  I feel like my life is finally going in the right direction and i'm much more positive and optimistic about things than i was when i was younger.  I agree that the 40's are the new 20's.  I think there's a book called "Smart cookies Don't Crumble" that says something about you're not really and adult until you reach your 30's and things have finally clicked in to place.  I agree with that one too. 

I say celebrate life no matter what age you are. 

With each decade comes new experiences and learnings and to be open & enthusiastic about what the future holds will make you young at heart.  And, honestly what matters more than that?!

I'm 38 and was very recently carded for a cocktail at a dinner with my hubby (who is actually 4 years younger than me).  He was like, "what the heck?"  And, I simply told him that all the stress someone carries with them every day is portrayed outwardly in their "perceived age". 

You just need to live each day to it's fullest!
