Turning 40!

I’m turning 40 soon. It’s one of those ages that makes you pause and consider where you are in life. I don’t think 40 is old, but then I don’t think anyone really thinks of themselves as old. That’s because life goes by pretty fast, and so you never really feel like your age. Well, all except for your body that is. In anticipation of all the over-the-hill cards I will undoubtedly receive from my “friends,” I’ve compiled some of my favorite getting-old quotes. Feel free to add yours to the comments!
