The last day of my thirties. I spent the last month mentally preparing for what ends up being a huge and dramatic transition for some people. Writing about the approach to my 40th birthday has really helped me reduce the angst.
I wanted it to be more a celebration, a positive experience, the ramp to a midlife renaissance, and it feels like I've accomplished that.
The celebration is just getting started. I raise my glass on the eve of turning 40 and toast myself, my life so far, the lessons learned, and all that is to come as this day fades into tomorrow.
Slainte!
