Does life really begin at 40?

So its 2011 and this year I turn 40. Is age just as they say - a number? Is it a state of mind? Do our frames of reference, assumptions, desires and morals change simply because we turn 40??? According to a recent article being 40 can be downright dangerous and life threatening. EEK! Theres quite a few websites dedicated to turning and being 40 - who knew that???!!!

So who else is turning 40 with me this year? Heres a few....

• Winona Ryder - “I’m at that age I’ve been warned my whole life about,” says Ryder. So no one warned you about shoplifting then?
• Mark "Marky Mark" Wahlberg - would still like to see him in some Calvin Kleins
• Mariah Carey - perhaps her breasts are only turning 18 though?
• Snoop Dog - who DOESN'T love the snoop?
• Ricky Martin - livin' la vida loca. loca. loca. loca.

Here is how this little project will work. I'll be updating my blog as 2011 rolls on by. What changes will I experience, if any, because Im 40? Will my life suddenly go into superdrive or will it be status quo? Lets wait and see and in the meantime you can check out these great "40th birthday" quotes...

See you soon :)
