What do you love about being over 40?

I have gained a lot of insight through my own mistakes. I learned my mom is really my best friend, I thought she said that because she was just being a mom. When things got tough during my divorce and she would show up every weekend to help me pack (3 hr drive) I realized she really was my best friend. I also appreciate my independence at this age. I also have appreciated my flaws.

How do you stay fabulous?

I remember to drink water even if it’s not 8 glasses a day. I drink all my vitamins, I try walking a lot. I try to feed my interest and what makes me happy. So I’m not just taking care of my outward appearance. Taking care of my inner self is just as important or more.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would most likely put a down payment on a house. Or maybe pay off my nursing school loans. I already put away some money for my son’s college education a little each month goes a long way. My mom is almost retired I would take her with me to the spa trip.
