Embracing 40

I turned 40 this year! It's funny  how society puts so much emphasis on milestone birthdays and even birthdays at all. Everyone kept asking me what I was going to do, did I want a party, even poor hubby was stressing out on what to do. Well, the answer was simple: nothing. I do not like the spotlight. I was never into celebrating my birthday. When you have a birthday on December 23, it's hard to expect people to be around    and in the past we usually traveled somewhere.
