Goodbye 30s

I can't bring myself to go to bed. When I wake up tomorrow, I'll be 40. I keep thinking that for as long as I can stay awake I'm still in my 30s. And so here I sit, trying to decide if I'm ready to take the plunge.

Silly, I know. I've always thought so. Just a number... doesn't mean a thing. And I stand by that.

But still.

My 30s has been such a rich, rich era. Getting married, being pregnant, having 3 gorgeous children, moving out of my beloved city, starting a business, buying a home, making it home. Growing up... a little. Aging for the first significant time. It's been a big decade. I don't know that I've paid it proper tribute just yet.

Ok, and I don't want to look 40.

But I suppose I'm more likely to look 40 by tomorrow if I don't take that plunge and go to sleep already.

Besides, I'm so damn curious. What could possibly be next!!

40 doesn't get more beautiful than you (inside and out). Happy Birthday. 40s will be the best decade yet...
Love you.
