I like the sound of 42, not there yet, but I agree that some ages have a better feel and sound than others, not even sure it's an odd or even thing, maybe it's a chinese numerology thang - I know I was worried that Ma Puce was born on 13th, but my mum then told me that in Chinese her birthdate is a lucky one. Anyway, have a wonderful year ahead.

Making decisions when the time is right can feel so rewarding and empowering, none of the stressing and doubting that another time might bring. Recognising that moment is the really clever bit and you seem full of wisdom and good decisions now you are 42. Having turned 40 this year I am learning to embrace this decade of my life. I am very much enjoying finding the grown up I've always known I can be. So yes I am loving my age. I will look forward to following you and your family through your move and into an exciting new year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-68663298400878951812012-12-12T15:06:09.132+00:002012-12-12T15:06:09.132+00:00Thank you!

That's great that you have grown to like your age, but it sounds more than that - that you are feeling very comfortable in your skin - fab that you are living in the moment and appreciating everything around you.

Happy birthday to you, I enjoyed reading all about it. Apart from the puking bit it all sounded very nice!<br /><br />I am older than you but yes, I like my age, or rather I have grown to like my age. This week (because of the previous few weeks) I have surprised myself by learning to take each day at a time and to be finally cool and calm about Christmas. Nothing I can do so what's the point of stressing, eh??! And I've learned to stop and take stock of the beauty all around me :-)<br /><br />Great post, thank you.<br /><br />xx Jazzyjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-86652997300257183712012-12-09T12:37:28.642+00:002012-12-09T12:37:28.642+00:00Happy Birthday to you! 42 sounds better than 41 i...Happy Birthday to you! 42 sounds better than 41 in my view. But whatever, it sounds like, it's great that you sound so positive and that there is so much good news in your life. Loved reading this post. So much for the OM family to look forward to.
