Believe it or not (I’m having a hard time getting my mind around it myself), but I turn 40 today.
Randall Munro knows exactly how I feel about it. And he’s 23!
Happy birthday to me

Happy Birthday. Have lots of fun!

I think 40 is the new… uh… 40.
Youth culture is too much work. Enjoy being 40 because it beats the alternative.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It’s not how you feel, it’s how you look. You don’t look forty, so you must be doing something right.

Hey there, happy 40th!
I just celebrated mine last week – in fact, exactly one week ago! (am 48).
You definitely don’t “look” forty. :)

Happy 40th Alex – the saying goes that life begins at 40 and, although I hope we all start living our lives to the full a long time before that, hitting 40 does give one a sense of “now I can just be who I am without the need for too much explanation”, which is pretty liberating!

Happy birthday and many happy returns!
Al the best as your next phase of life begins.
Cheers

40? Bah! Turning forty is a breeze! When I past that milestone 14 years ago, I truly felt I had achieved membership is a special club. I always got “Sir-ed” by everyone and people 40 and over seemed to recognize that I had made it to that age where you don’t have to care what anyone else thinks about you. Want to wear plaid bermuda shorts with dress shoes, high black socks and a wife-beater undershirt? Go ahead! Got a hankering for the early bird rib-eye steak special? Go on, get in line.
So on behalf of those 40 and over, I welcome you!!

Happy Birthday Alex from a 55 year-old newborn. I recently read that the great thing about getting older is we don’t remember the details, but our minds embrace the big concepts better than ever. Of course…I forget where I read that. :)

Hey Alex,
Happy birthday. Turning 40 was a bit of an ordeal for me too (I’m now 44). I have come to realize that I will always get older but I’ll never get old.
Perspective is everything.
Cheers,
SteveLove your blog. Keep up the great work!
