Dear all, I will be officially forty in a week, and I am healthier now than I've been in years. So starting "middle age" on a great note. Now,what to do with all the energy is the question. Also,if any of you have suggestions for how to celebrate (my 40th) I welcome those. It was a lot easier coming up with ideas for birthdays when I was a kid, but I guess that's true for everyone

Firstly a big congratulations on your upcoming 40th. Would you prefer to spend it partying with friends or are you more of a small getaway with family kind of guy? Whatever you decide to do it must be something you would love and enjoy.

I'll definitely spend it with family, but because it's a milestone I want to make it memorable beyond that as well. @flapiz

Congrats on almost 40, that's a great place to be health wise. I'd say do something you never had time for before, like a short trip or a class you always wanted to try. Honestly a good dinner with people you love is hard to beat too.

That's great that you are, and hope you will have a great birthday. I know it is especially hard with the way we are eating now, so hard to enjoy the food part lol

Take a trip with your friends or just go solo for a 'me' time. That's my personal suggestion.
