And just like that...

I'm expecting wonderful years till I turn 45 or maybe 50! Thank you Valerie!

@just4him Because I don't know what's coming when I reach that age. I have to make a new adventure depending on how I am when I reach that age.

@toniganzon Why only until then? I'm having wonderful years and I'll be 65 in a few months. I do have health issues, but that doesn't mean I'm not having a wonderful day.

forty things before forty? I'm supposed to be doing my photo journal for that today as I failed to log in for several days now due to my hectic schedule. But I believe I did!

@toniganzon Yes, the 40 things before 40, I believe it was. Yay, exciting you accomplished the list! Hope you get to do your photo journal soon.

@infatuatedbby Yeah, but I don't think I could do them today. Will try to finish the photo journal very soon though or before the month of February ends.

It's sad that it would take 40 years for people to deepen their relationship with God. I'm actually disappointed that the priest said that. Thank you for the greetings.

@SIMPLYD And some people in their 40s just don't seem to care.

@toniganzon Well, it's not most people. I can understand why the priest said that. Some people when younger seems not into deep relationship with God yet. They are young and carefree that is why. But we can instill deep relationship with God to our children at an early age though.

I can sense your sincerity all the way from where you are. Thank you from the bottom of my 40 year old beating heart.

@DaddyEvil Mine is healthy, it'll keep on beating for many more years! I just hope nobody plots to murder me any time soon.

@toniganzon You know, I am very happy to know a heart that is 40 years old can still beat... I was getting nervous that mine might quit before I reach that age. (grinning at you!)

Come to think of it, I haven't made a wish yet. Bring me a cake with a candle on it so I can make my wish. While I was talking to you, it was no longer my birthday in my part of the world and time...remember, I'm the girl from the future.

@moffittjc Well, last night, the 19th, I got this cake from one of our partner companies. So I lit the candle and made a wish. The only person who sent me a gift was my friend from S. Korea. She sent me two boxes of sheet mask and one ampoule. She knew what I need.

@toniganzon A wish I could have brought you a cake with a candle on it. Did you ever get a chance to make a birthday wish and blow out your candle? Did you get any special gifts for your birthday?

I believe so ! Thank you so much.

Thank you, really appreciate your sincere greeting.

@toniganzon

Same here, we say life begins at 40. However, seeing how people get younger and younger these days instead of getting older, some of us say life begins at 50 now and no longer 40.

@LadyDuck A lot of people here at that age are still very highly active and still doing what they enjoy doing. You couldn't even guess they're in their 50s because of their physical appearance and their activities. My 62 year old friend can go shopping at the mall with us the whole day without complaining. She's even slimmer and sexier than me. She still dances ballroom. She used to compete in dance sports internationally. Her only complain these days is she's getting fat when her waistline is just 22 and mine is 25.

@toniganzon I have to disagree, being 40 is great, once you turn 50 it's no more the same kind of life.

I want to be as happy as you when you were in your forties! I had a successful 30s and I've accomplished so much in my life. I hope I could do the same in my 40s.

I thought 40 is the new 20!

@toniganzon Just wishful thinking!

Thank you Cindy. I usually don't celebrate my birthday but my family and friends insisted on having that dinner party as we only become 40 once in our life.

This is true and you were probably due for a celebration too.

@cintol The last time I had a big celebration was the I was 18. And it was not my wish to celebrate either. My sisters insisted on that one.

I thought when I turned 30 that was it. The best years of my life was now in the 30s I thought. Now I have to make a new one to make it even greater. I've accomplished so much in my 30s I wish to double it in my 40s.

@JudyEv Right I've dealt with rough issues since I was very young. it has made me tough. When I became a teenager, I lost my parents. And that was 3 days after I turned 13. And many more things happened after that. It has made me into what I am now. So I hope God wouldn't throw anything to me that I couldn't handle in my life.

@toniganzon You go for it. The years will be as good as you make them - although sometimes other issues can have a pretty big impact.

Thank you Kharla!

@kobesbuddy Thanks again for making me feel special.

@toniganzon You are very welcome, special lady!

Thanks DB! Your greetings seems to be the most sincere. Really do appreciate it.

@dgobucks226 Yep, age is just a number, but I'm taking care of myself now more than I did when I was in my 20s. Don't want to look like I'm in my 60s all of a sudden!

@toniganzon My pleasure! Age is just a number they say and you have the right attitude about it...

@toniganzon i only think like in my 20's myself. feel 90 and look it too

@bunnybon7 I don't think you do.

I don't feel old. But time flies too quickly. I feel like I'm still in my 20s.

Well thank you Orson. Is 60 the new 40? I still have 20 more years to start my life then!

@Orson_Kart let's hope you and I are still here when that time comes.

@toniganzon I am hoping so, but by the time you get there I'll be nearly 80 and probably not here.

I still don't feel like I've reached that age. Thanks.

@Metsrock69 Now that's the attitude.

Thank you Sue. Excited for what 40s life has to offer me.

@HazySue True.

@toniganzon I was too. Age never has mattered to me. It's not how old you are it's what you have in your heart.

Thank you Mary. I try to be cool about it as I can.

@MarymargII Right!

@toniganzon Why not? You're still young and now you're wise as well-------hahaha!

Not going anywhere.

@Gita17112016 Not going anywhere far for that adventure to happen. Could be a new business venture. That one is still considered an adventure.

@toniganzon What! I thought you said 'new adventures'. Are you waiting for them to come to you?
