I would say, in fact, that you have your best years ahead of you! It's all about perspective, really. I have been struggling with similar issues since turning 40 in March. I'm not where I thought I would be in terms of career, financial security, etc. and I started to get stressed out about those things. However, I have come to realize that I am exactly where God wants me to be and that this life is an ever-changing, ever-evolving process and only God knows what is around the next bend in the road. I submit to you, as others have, that you are not the same person you were yesterday and you will not be the same person tomorrow that you are today. Because we are always learning, always growing, always changing each and every day. Here's to the new and improved Mandy (not that we don't love and adore the old one!)! Mandy,

Ugh! But I have to say that I feel younger and more alive and closer to God and more like ME than I have at any other time in my life. My kids are still growing (ages 17 down to 8) but somehow, moving through my 40's freed me to shed a lot of expectations. I am more comfortable in my own skin than ever before. Well, sort of. It's not quite as taut and there are a more wrinkles than I realize...but, hey. It happens. Hang in there and enjoy it all. Don't be afraid to seize what you want. Don't let ANYTHING - particularly your own head - limit you. Live in the truth that you are simply one of millions of people, created with the amazing privilege of LIFE. Relate to those around you with grace. Tell yourself, every day, that it's not about you - as a Christ-follower, it's about Him and those who are hopeless. And wear suncreen. :-) Mandy - I’m ancient around here - turning 45 in a few weeks. Ugh!

What ever it is. Just do it. I know how incredibly lame that sounds, but seriously...No regrets. I know that you are already doing and living and it so doesn't have to stop when you hit the 3-0 mark. For reals. It is just another day. Don't freak out about it...Just jump. You are amazing Mandy…and from somebody who is way older then you, let me just give you some advice…Just do it.
