And it's a big one. 4-0.
I will not go into it graciously or smiling. I'll admit here it's hitting me. Hard. All the what ifs, why nots, coulda woulda shouldas, plus the extra pounds are messing with my mind.
I'm normally a bit melancholy on holidays and birthdays, but put on the brave face and count my blessings. And I'm sure I'll be doing that again on this one. But I'll also be saying under my breath, "oh crap, it's my freakin 40th birthday. Now what?"
If only I could be half as gracious as Eddy from Ab Fab here. When you have time watch and enjoy. No, make some time. You'll thank me.
Tomorrow I'll be coming on strong. Forty Fabulous and all that mess. Right?
Best,
Kwana

Yay! Happy Birthday to you, Kwana! Well, as a woman who has made it past that big 4-0, I have to say, the 40's are great. Better than the 30's. Enjoy!!
Happy Birthday, m'dear! Hope it was a beautiful one!!!! Wish I were there, we'd have crazy girl's night!!
Enjoy the youth! :) Age is but a number.
A most Happy Birthday to You!! And don't you dare say, "oh, crap"!! Trust me, your forties are truly absolutely fabulous. And no, no pun intended at all!! Really!
Oh, and by the way....my word verification was "fillys". That's all we are you know. Fillys. Not nags. Not yet!
Happy Birthday, Kwana!!! Can't believe I almost missed it. Bad me.
Happy Birthday, Kwana. You're just a neonate amongst some us! Forty is fabulous (from what I recall).
Cheers,
Tanya
