On Being Forty

I kind of like it.
I feel more relaxed, not as volatile. More centered and grounded.
I am more likely to say the right things at the right times, instead of blurting them out.
I am more likely to say nothing at all, and that is often a good thing.
I am less likely to care that other people disagree.
I am less likely to put up with drama.
I can get my emotions to work for me, instead of being overwhelmed by them.
I can do a lot more good in my 40s, than I could in my 20s.
I think I will.
