The big 40 is approaching

Well it's time to mention that I will be turning 40 on the 18th of July!!

I can't believe that I am nearly 40, where does the time go?  I have had mixed feelings about it although I know that time doesn't stand still for any man. 

However, any major birthday is a landmark in ones life

 and it does make one look back to the past and look forward to the future. 

My 30's weren't the best time of my life.

I split with my now ex-husband, went through a very acrimonious divorce,

lost my business, my home, friends, and my health,

as I had a nervous breakdown through it all. 

However, nearly two years ago, I met my now fiance, a lovely man who is kind,

sensitive, loving and very supportive. 

It took me a while to learn to trust myself and my feelings but I am there now. 

We are looking to buy a house together soon so things are looking bright for my 40s.

These events certainly have made me who I am today.

 I am alot more understanding and compassionate to others.

I love the creative side of me which I found again during my breakdown 

that had been buried under work, work and more work

and I know what is important to me now,

so you can say, that my 30s were a time of clearing out the rubbish,

and making way for the new.

I am looking forward to my 40s because I know it has a lot of good things waiting for me just around the corner. 

I am being whisked away on a weekend break for my birthday so won't be around for a few days but next week I am going to do a birthday giveaway!
