I can't even believe I am 40 years old. I have officially entered a new category by which I only previously assessed those in their 40s, well before I entered this realm: OLD. Of course with my age I have learned a few things too. Not only have I come to grasp that life is rather unpredictable, and that there are joys to be found in areas I never knew, but also I have learned first hand of some of the greatest pains in life.
