I love being in my forties.
I'm not too thrilled about my aging body, mind you ;)
...but I wouldn't change the perspective for anything.
I constantly remind my girlies that "this too shall pass" and there is
SO. MUCH. MORE.
Lord willing. ;)
This is my first try at this week's
I can't imagine the perspective I'll have in another 40 years... ;)

I completely share your thoughts on being in my forties. On my 40th birthday I felt like I had received so many new gifts from God -- better insight was one of them. Love it!! Love your card too. Great sentiment.
I agree with you on the aging bod.! If only we could have the perspective of our forties in our twenties - I'm sure life would have been a lot simpler then! Great one layer card and I love the sentiment. Thanks for playing along at Colour Q!
Gorgeous card! Love that sentiment! And I love your way of thinking! :)
Thank you very much for joining us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

What a fab CAS card Marlena. I love the way you used the paint stripes and the colours look great together!

PS enjoy your forties - they can be great years.
I am approaching 2 times your age. I can tell you I am not the same person I was at age 40. Time has a way of mellowing one. I have far more wisdom that I had 40 years ago, although sometimes I still make some pretty stupid mistakes. I am far less gullible. I am a much safer driver than I was at 40, regardless of what the media has proclaimed about older drivers. Enjoy the next 40 to the fullest! Thanks for visiting my blog.
Awed by this card, Marlena - the brush strokes and the sentiment, nestled on its whisper of pink - is pure delight! I enjoyed my 40s, too, although they passed tooooo quickly! Now, I'm embracing my 50s (nearly mid-50s...eek)...Hugs~c
