I honestly agree with people who say life only starts after 40: people now what's going on much better, they know themselves and their limitations and abilities, and are not afraid to be who they are.
all of that results in much better quality of life.
I, too, feel much better than I ever did in my life, and I am not in my 20s anymore :) looking forward to my older years - more wisdom, less "fluff"
thanks for sharing a positive, uplifting story!
