Life Begins....

Tomorrow I will be 40 years old. 40? How can it be? The truth of the matter is that I am still in shock since I turned 30 and don’t feel a day over 25! This looming anniversary has made me look back on my life – what I have achieved and what I haven’t. I certainly have packed a hell of a lot into 40 years and can honestly say that I have no regrets. Yet there is still so much to do and I look forward to the coming years with a childlike optimism and enthusiasm.

Recently I have been set a fantastic example by Peppercom’s co-founder Steve Cody (he’s a little bit older than me) who recently decided to fulfil a lifelong ambition and become a stand up comedian. He trained at a comedy institute in New York and just did his first performance at Stand-up NY. Not only did he have the bottle to do it but he even invited his colleagues to come along to witness it. His routine was a resounding success and I am so pleased for him. You can read about it at www.repmanblog.com.

This year I am determined to fulfil some of my own dreams - though maybe not quite as public as Steve’s – and prove that truly ‘life begins at forty’.

The voice of experience here- from across the pond. #1: Happy Birthday , Sweetie! Have a ball and celebrate it all!
#2: Life begins at 20 and 30 and 40 and 50 and with each passing year gets richer, less stressful and more exciting. You're in for the ride of your life and you won't (necessarily) be on the back of one of your four-legged steeds.

Thanks Dandy..you set a great example and if I have half as much enthusism for life as you do I will count myself as very lucky indeed!
