I am 39 turning forty this month. People turning forty told me that it is a big one. I knew what they meant but now I feel the weight of what they mean. Any suggestions?

Forget it and ignore them. A mid life crises comes from worrying about the concept that you are getting old. It means that you are finally recognizing your own mortality. That's good, it gives you perspective on living. However, at 40 you are only about half way through life, so why worry? Odds are pretty good you'll live another 40 years. Those years will be better in many ways because you have hopefully gained wisdom and knowledge.
Enjoy yourself and stop worrying. I'm 50, still ski, rollerblade and can out fight almost every person in my dojo. I refuse to grow up and am having a ball.

40 is such a great time! Train for a half marathon, skydive, take racing lessons. Do things that are positive or creative but nothing hurtful or regretable!
