40

When I turned 40 two years ago, I really thought that I was going to die. I was not looking forward to it or even wanted to talk about it. Maybe that is why my husband gave me a surprise party to help me ease into it. The other day I had an Aha Moment, like Oprah says, the 40's have not been that bad so far. They have actually been pretty good. Here are my thought about my 40's so far;

  • I am really feeling myself.
  • I decided to transition to natural hair and am really loving it. 
  • I really have come into my own.
  • I have taken on a more healthier lifestyle so that I can live a long life.
  • I must get more sleep to keep up with my 3 year old.
  • My friendships that I have are the one that I will have for life. 
  • My relationship with God is more important and I continue to nurture it and mature it daily. 
  • I love to relax.
  • Watching my  money is more important since I realize the older I get the closer I get to retirement. 
  • Sometimes I need to wear a wedge instead of a 3 inch heel to assist my knees.
  • A supportive bra is more important than ever. 
  • Skinny jeans are not for everyone. 
  • Reading a good book is more important than TV (except for when Scandal is on)
  • Spending with family is precious.
  • I still do not know how to put on eyelashes and makeup to look like a model.
I am sure as I progress in my 40's I will add more to my list, but this is what I have right now. I am really enjoying my 40's at the moment and am going to make the best of them. Now I am not sure what I will think about 45 or 50, check with me then. Until that time I am going to be happy with being the 42 year Dana and all the possibilities it entails.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
