Connect What do you love about being over 40?

Every age has its advantages and disadvantages. Age 40 is just the middle point of one’s active life. It is the age when one should prepare a balance sheet of what has been achieved and has yet to be achieved. What weaknesses does one possess, and what strengths does one have. This is the age from where one takes mature steps forward based on experience. So, all weaknesses can gradually be eliminated and replaced with solid and intelligent actions.

How do you stay fabulous?

Take care of yourself. Reduce stress in your life. Don’t do drugs and alcohol. Don’t smoke cigarettes. Drink plenty of water. Don’t be in a toxic relationship. This includes toxic friendships and being around toxic relatives. Get plenty of exercise, especially cardio. Walking is highly recommended. Spend plenty of time in nature.

What would you do with the $40,000?

40,000 would definitely change my life for the better. I've been out of work for the past 3 years due to a work injury I sustained while working in a hospital. I had an injury to my L1/L5 Lumbar Spine. With this injury my left leg would give out at any moment and I would fall. I fell getting out the shower and I tore my Achilles. I fell down the stairs in my house twice. Eventually I had to get epidurals in my spine and makor therapy. I just want to be fabulous again and want my life back.
