Aside from the incredible irritation I feel cyclically, the fat tire and the wrinkles, it's all good! My fear is that I will become a curmudgeon like my father was, if I don't practice graciousness! Hello Vivianne,

I really meant it, I love being in my forties. Aside from the incredible irritation I feel cyclically, the fat tire and the wrinkles, it’s all good!

My fear is that I will become a curmudgeon like my father was, if I don’t practice graciousness!

How unbelievably insensitive. Jillian, I am touched by the genuineness of this post. I feel as if we are going through the same emotions, turbulence and ultimately acceptance of our changing bodies. I can accept getting older. My parents always said it was a blessing. In that vein I appreciate leaving behind some of the awkwardness of youth. And yes! I feel as if my heart can embrace so much more around me. Experiencing these changes took me by surprise because it was so unexpected, but I am determined to accept it as gracefully as you have. Thank you for sharing this beautiful post with me. It actually helped! I cannot believe that Doctor said those things! How unbelievably insensitive.

I can picture you busting a move on the dance floor and, despite that tool of a doctor's opinion, you can do it without busting your back. LOVED IT! What a great post, Jillian!

LOVED IT!

One of my problems has been weight gain. Well in the past month and a half I have lost twenty pounds - only 25 to 30 to go. Once the weight is off I am getting a tattoo and I am going to start making corsets to wear! (I actually want to start restructing old and second hand clothes so my wardrobe will be unique) For my forty fifth birthday I might even get my belly button pierced. I have started a company to write promotional material for entertainers and I feel like I am just getting started. The best is yet to come no matter what some dim witted so called educated person may say! I just turned 44 and have some medical difficulties over the last ten years.
