    Happy Birthday!:) Glad you had a good one! I turned 40 in April; it’s not as bad as I though it might be. Yes, I’m more tired than I was in my 30s, my idea of a fun evening is cooking and drinking wine, and my joints don’t tolerate running like they used to, but what I’m loving is that I’m stronger than I ever was (both physically and mentally), I’ve learned that I don’t have to put up with bullshit, and I’ve learned to appreciate the small stuff (like actually getting a good night’s sleep)! Hope you have a fantastic year!:)

  • Pepper

    Happy 40th! Thanks for sharing your Italy photos…they were so fun to see! Can’t wait to read more about your favorite food while you were there.

  • Katie

    Happy birthday, Tracy! Your trip looked like the perfect way to ring in a new decade with a bang 🙂
