On Being 40...
"Who am I now?
That has been an ongoing question in my brain. Who am I now? What is going
to happen now? What do I want out of life now? How much time do I really
have now? How do I plan to live now?
The way I used to see the world and the way I used to live in it has changed
for me. It's kind of hard to explain, you see life unfolding around you but
the way you perceive it, interact with it, and relate to the events are so
different from the way you used to. It's hard for family and friends to
understand that, as you "look" like the person they knew. They can't "see"
these profound changes within you.
I have this ongoing chatter in my head... what's the most important thing
you need to learn "today"? How's that going to happen? What actions will you
take? And so on...
I feel a little bit like a preschooler asking myself all these questions
that I don't have the answers to. Right now I am a "seeker of life." I am
looking to make the best choices for me. I am seeking a better me, a better
quality of life, better relationships with others, etc.
I know that this is a significant period of change for me, because I am
questioning so many things that surround me.
Hmm... Let me ask you, what can you live with in your life? What do you need
to enhance? What do you need to let go of? So many questions... so many
questions. "
I found this on besthealthmag.ca. Funny to have just stumbled upon something that captures EXACTLY how I feel.

I ask myself those kinds of questions A LOT.

I used to think I was the only one...I am now beginning to think the minority are those who DON'T ask the questions.

Whenever I miss workouts for a week or even just a couple of days, it's so incredibly tough to get back into the swing of things, much easier to stay in bed!!

I don't ask myself these questions because I'm deathly afraid of the answers I'll give myself.

I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time... however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues. Great stuff as usual..

We're doing Disney in January! We are only up to 9 miles for long runs, but did a 10k race last week and we both felt pretty good. We have a half marathon coming up Nov 13 and hope to run pretty well in that which will lead to high hopes for the marathon. I'm from Chicago and have been averaging a trip there every other year since moving here! Definitely miss the pizza and Portillo's Italian Beef!!!!

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of track backs?

I am extremely fond of reading and whenever I got interested in some book, I opened a http://www.pdfqueen.com/country/Seychelles/20-05-2010.html books search engine, found the book I needed and downloaded it. But as it turned out, in the journals and articles one can sometimes find the info he/she failed to find in the book. Thus can say that from time to time such articles as yours are a very pleasant surprise for me!

Oh I love all of these! Especially because they are so simple and beautiful yet have a cool edge. And I
love the idea of adding a studded accessory to a feminine outfit- I think I will try that soon!

Once you turn 40 I think is a large turning point for most people in there life. That is the age where health risks start to increase and you have to be more careful. You want to try and do better for your children, usually it is a very stressful time because they are usually teenagers by this time.

I am lucky to have good Polish skin that doesn't wrinkle so I might be around for a few years yet.

Well, I know, after all, it is only juxtaposition, Juxtaposition, in short; and what is juxtaposition?
