a little heaven at 40

As the family got ready for bed time last night....I took a moment to take in my surroundings.....at that very moment Dylan was getting ready to get tucked into bed and it hit me like a ton of bricks.....I am turning 40 tomorrow and I have a 15 month old son.......wow....when you think about it like that...it feels a little daunting...I mean I will be getting my senior citizen discount when my son is in high school.............I try not to look at the reality of the situation quite in that light....geez life would be soooo depressing......I actually wouldn't change a thing when it comes to our little Dylan and the age I was when we had him....I mean we are so blessed in our life to be financially stable, we both have good solid careers and have plenty of good quality family time with our son.....life has been good and I am so truly blessed.... I am guessing that we will just have to stay young not such a bad thing....I am hoping that 40 will just be a continuation of 39....39 was a good year................I think 40 has the potential to be better.....business has been very good and I am thinking will only get better....I have began to build some meaningful friendships.....both Collin and I have settled into parenthood and it is everything that I hoped for and more..........Dylan is such a awesome little guy and I am so lucky to be his mom....I am hoping to start working out more and getting more fit and of course losing weight....I have maintained my initial weight loss from earlier this year but have had a difficult time getting serious about making the scale move down even further.....but now that we are in the new house....and some what settled I am thinking that I am in the mental space right now to dig in and get the last of the weight off.............I know that I will feel and look so much better...so that is my big goal for 40....well my first day of 40 turned out pretty good....lots of Happy B Days....lunch with my girlfriends......Culver's Burgers with my husband....apple pie and custard in place of a Birthday Cake.... and I am going to finish the day with a hot bath with my son and watching a little TV in bed with my husband........and whoo man curled up by my side...............a little heaven at 40
