The birthdays after 40. Remember when birthdays were all slumber parties and phone-shaped cake? What are your thoughts on birthdays now? While we couldn’t wait to be older once, I’m curious how some of the birthdays now feel. First, there were 10 - double digits, then 13 of course finally making it to teenagehood. Then 16 for the license, a new decade at 20, and oh so adult. 

 

Welcome to a little peek behind the curtain at Flipping 50. And.. I’ll ask what “turning 60” felt like- approaching it, thinking about it, what you would have thought at 20 or 30 about “60” and what you think now.
