turning 40

40 is not a big deal if you've already passed over. it's no longer a big deal to me either. i'm crossing over today. 

but if it's on the horizon -- if it's still in front of you -- ah, yes, you're the one i'm writing to. (40 year olds and up, stand with me as the COUNSEL of THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE) 

treat sleep as a gift rather than something you have to do. 

have a set wake up time and bedtime. your body will rejoice with each passing year that you don't spring on surprises. 

make up your bed when you get out of it.
