So, I'm 40...

Yupeers, I'm 40 now.  Ok.  Now What?  

I've been silent this week because I figured something, anything was supposed to happen.  

It didn't.  Honestly, I think I was a little disappointed.  

I still am but if this year hasn't taught me anything it has taught me to be faithful and trust in the Lord.  Each day I am praying and saying "Let your will be done" and you know what?  It is. I'm feeling better and while I still have a way to go I just feel better and I do see my life changing for the good.  Hey, my way certainly hasn't worked so... lol  

Sorry, I digress...

My birthday came and went with no hoopla.  No party.  No trip.  No nada mucho.  You see, I'm adopting and looking for a new job so there isn't a whole lot of extra money for these things.  I plan to do something this year, but I was hoping my birthday would have been the time.  

The birthday was nice and peaceful though.  I'm thankful I wasn't stressed and pray I have left that ultimate stress in my 30s.  I bought new shoes (3 pairs and clothes)...thanks Mom and Bob. I got a beautiful new ceiling fan...thanks Bob.  I went to church first.  I have a new wonderful man in my life (I'll call him A).  We spent the day by the water in Baltimore walking hand in hand.  We ate great seafood and had gelato for dessert.  

For those that have asked me about A.  Yes, I met him online.  Yes, he is normal (today) LOL. We have been seeing each other about a month now almost daily.   He is a Christian.  Never married.  No kids.  Two dogs.  Employed.  Handsome.  Dimples.  Athletic.  Nice body.  39.  Very funny.  He gets me and I get him.  I adore him.  'Nuff said.  

There you have it.  Where I stand on being 40 today, June 12th.
