I turn 40 today. My birthday is D-Day. It's the 70th anniversary of D-Day (in World War II), but most people know this day more as Donut Day, or National Donut Day (as I am finding out on social media.)
All I can say is I would have never imagined that I would still be "in the desert" at 40. That's explained more in-depth at - http://stanzo.blogspot.com/2014/06/40-years.html
I am thankful to God that I am at a better place than a few months ago. God pulled me out of some very tough circumstances and it's not the first time He's done it. (He has also taught me to do what I can, and let go and leave it to Him in the areas not in my control.)
Random thought that I am thankful about. Whenever one of my doctor's office hires a new staffer, they would always look at my birth date in disbelief and ask me twice to verify my date of birth (specifically, the year of birth 1974). I am blessed by God that I still look like I am in my twenties. One of my students in the past even said jokingly I look 17 (and the whole class laughed), but I think that's overexaggeration. I am blessed that God has given me the knowledge in nutrition, exercise science, as well as mind-body practices to keep my state of youth. This is reflected in my blood report too, by the way. My annual blood report is better than even most twenty year olds.
So, I will end this entry by saying, I am 40 and I am grateful.
Also, I would like to quote a wise and famous young lady, "I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22."

RyC: Thank you. I did put in my 2 weeks notice because my job was an unhealthy situation and I needed out. They just decided to make it effectively.
