Thirty Nine Years run so fast. Now I am Forty. Saying goes: Life Begins At Forty. Will this be a great year for me? I am just thinking what will be for me this year. [i]I have a great happy family, though my wife is just my second. I have a job, though my wage is just enough to feed ourselves right. I have a bike though I dreamed of a car. I have this house, renting though I wish I can call it my own.[/i] KEEP SMILING = NEIL

Hi Neil, Yes Neil life begina at forty and will be able to achive what you want in life. Does material really matters to you? you have a loving wife and children and I think you are very rich and lucky to have a job and place to live and make it your home, there are so many people in this world wish for the thing you have and never wish for any thing it just might come true and you will have to pay the price of being alone. I have long for children but could not have any so I have pets and love them like my children so be happy Neil you have a wonderful life with wife and kids. Tamara

Hi Neil, In this society I am considered too old to adopt children as I am in my fifties but I'm happy with my lot in life, they say that if you have children thats a blessing so all I can say is I am not blessed. Tamara

They say life begins at forty and if you are... then life begins with you. At forty I believe you really have so much to thank God for. Despite life's difficulties I believe there are countless blessings that come and will come your way and I am happy you seem to be looking at life the positive way. A poem here is herewith added to serve as your inspiration: COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS Count your blessings instead of your crosses; Count your gains instead of your losses. Count your joys instead of your woes; Count your friends instead of your foes. Count your smiles instead of your tears; Count your courage instead of your fears. Count your full years instead of your lean; Count your kind deeds instead of your mean. Count your health instead of your wealth; Count on God instead of yourself. GOD BLESS! AND KEEP SMILING!

Keep on dreaming and don't give up.Dreams do come true if you just work hard.Don't forget to always ask the guidance of our Lord.One day you will have more than enough money, a car and own house.Everything is not easy but its a great feeling to achieve something thats coming from your effort and sweat.
