I’m a bit behind on things, as you can tell by my lack of posting in the last 2 weeks, but can I just interject here and say:

ALL OF YOUR ADVICE ROCKS!

And I’m not just talking the “40 is sexy”/”sex is good exercise” advice either, although who am I to argue with those?

I’ve been reading your comments along the way, so thank you and keep them coming. One of these days they may stick, too!

PS. Does using “rock” as a verb make one young?

Take the expression ‘middle-aged’ out of your vocabulary. My husband’s brother hit middle age at 10 (he died suddenly at 20). His aunt is nearly 104 (and counting), so we’re not quite sure when she did.

Congratulations, Susan. Forty is a glamorous age!

You could always start a thing with a west coast single dad blogger who is already 43 so you would always be the young one.

What? I was just saying….

i feel that 40 is a really great age to date women in this day and age.

I can only speak from my experience but women in their late 30′s to 40′s have been the most stable and fulfilling relationships that i have had.

i dont know why, but i have a couple of theories.

anyway point being, no women should feel bad about turning 40

40 can be very very sexy

Hey Susan, don’t think of yourself as 40, think of yourself as 30 with 10 years experience!

Always remember that each day is a gift, a treasure and should be lived as such….

A yoga tip: Stand on your head, it reverses the aging process.

A writing tip: Never stop.

A friendship tip: Think kindly of those you care for. They will feel it.

A parenting tip: Always enjoy one cool new thing your kids are into. Or in your case, be cooler than your kids…I still can’t believe you jumped out of that plane.

For yourself: Experience a new appreciation for something everyday.

A lovers tip: Accept no less than what you have to offer.

Come to Nova Scotia and we’ll bar hop in downtown Halifax like we’re 19 again. Of course, we’ll feel like 50 the next day. Happy Birthday month Susan!

Happy soon-to-be 40th! I’m right there behind you sister. (December 2009)

My tip?

Don’t take life or yourself so seriously!

You seem to be better about this than I. Maybe you need to be giving me the tips!
