I've been through a lot of heartache in my life, but one thing I was always taught by my grandmothers & my mom, always take care of yourself

I love being over 40 because I get compliments all the time from people telling me I look like I'm in my 40's, and I am going to be 59! They ask what I am doing to look so young. I maintain my health, beauty, my mind and my soul. It's been a rough few years, lost my precious 27 year old son in April of 2020, my mom 9 months later, then found out my Ex was having an affair with my good friend. I told myself then I am a survivor and I will be unstoppable like Sia! It's my motto.
How do you stay fabulous?By getting myself back; I was lost for a while, but I found her again! I have lost over 120 lbs, my health is better and I workout, or try to. I had back surgery in May of 2024, so I am slowly getting back into working out. I have a morning and night regime that I try to follow daily, but life just happens sometimes! I was always taught to look my best when I leave my house by my grandmothers and my mom, so that's what I try to do everyday!
What would you do with the $40,000?First and foremost, I would pay off all debt, just bought as new house all on my own, its so empowering, and I'd pay some money towards my home mortgage! Then, I'd go on a vacation with my daughter; like I've said, we've been through a lot and we have both come out on the better end. We deserve it, she is my rock, so it's only fitting I would take her with me! Then, I have some organizations I donate to, so I'd send them money.
