Thoughts on your 40th birthday

Four thoughts that occur to us on our 40^th birthday:

1. Suddenly you hesitate before saying your age out loud. You say it, but a little quieter. Yesterday it was not a problem. I have a career, I look good, so why not, right?
2. Thoughts creep in: maybe I should throw out my mini skirt and short shorts? Maybe I should start only dressing “decent”?
3. Am I still sexy? Will I get glances on the street?
4. Hey, I remind myself. 40 is the new 30! I’m still young.
