Today I can’t help but focus on milestones. My husband turns 40 this weekend. As a kid, I remember specifically when my parents turned 40. My daughter has already announced our impending “advanced age.” And, in the same moment, one of our ThurstonTalk.com staffers became a grandfather. We celebrated his new title yesterday. Yet, even with these new chapters, I don’t feel much different than I did yesterday. I suppose that’s the maturity part of aging. Oh, and the fact that it’s not MY 40th birthday. Cheers!
