Hey Y'all! Today is my 41st birthday!
This phase of my life is what I consider my "soft girl" era. Things have slowed down a bit, allowing me to enjoy the things I like to do more instead of always doing for others.
Since I work for myself at home and my children are older, life is pretty laid-back and peaceful.
As I got older, I found myself enjoying simple things like going to cafes, Pilates classes, the gym, and trying new cuisines. As Michelle's friends call me, "The Typical California Mom!"
I remember people telling me that in your 40s, things all go downhill, but I don't believe them. Whatever life you create is what your older years will be.
Yes, years of unhealthy living will start to catch up to you when you age, but since I have been on my health and wellness journey for years now, I feel better than I did in my 30s. The only difference is that my vision is not as good as it used to be. I believe that by my next birthday, I will be wearing eyeglasses.
I know year 41 will be good for me. My last child will be completing high school, and I'll have much more free time. It'll be a time to start rediscovering myself from constantly being in mom mode and instead doing more for my needs.
Cheers to year 41!
