Things I wish I'd known before age 40
That the moment you hit 40 your vision declines and you may soon need reading glasses.
That some people begin developing glaucoma or macular degeneration in their 40s. "If it's caught early, your vision can usually be saved.”
That you're now likely to grow crops of wrinkles, age spots, and small growths called skin tags.
That you now appreciate the days when your upper arms were toned.
That all those days spent tanning hasten the aging process as UV rays cause thick, damaged skin.
That you'll never get back to your pre-baby weight because your children drive you to drink.
That you've made enough mistakes to have learned many valuable life lessons.
That little children are unlikely to be able to tell you from any other adult stranger with similar features.
