Dip the toe, be brave

Here it goes something I tried 8 years ago when I thought I could rule the world.
Now I'm excited if I leave the house with mascara on.
This second, third attempt came about as a good friend and I sat around talking about all the things people, more to the point women don't tell you about aging - about being in your 40's.
On one hand many of us are liberated by I don't care attitude we've all seemed to magically acquire. Or pretend too. On the other hand as your emotional self is improving your physical self is messed up.
So I'm going to muse, rant, discuss & chat about what the 40's really mean. At least for me. Maybe while doing so - somebody out there will find solace or a laugh in what I have to say.
If nothing else it will give my little person something to look back on & say- that's why Mommy was that way!
