What do you love about being over 40?

I'm 62 yrs old. My life is changing, I'm learning about my self and others going through this journey. I'm cancer free and almost through it all and I think I'm a better person to myself. My mom and daughter also went through this journey. Oh I love my grandkids, I have three.Brenna, Violet, Bradley

How do you stay fabulous?

Honestly my husband , he has been here for everything, he keeps me going. The best in whole world. I try to be positive and keep on going. I also live down the street from my best friend of 40 yrs, now and we are funny together, we are here for each other no matter what.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I still have my parents so they deserve something great, me we have a home, maybe travel somewhere, spend some, probably faint lol
