Happiest Birthday, Jen! I can't tell you how therapeutic and lovely and just perfect it was sit in bed this morning and read this. It's my 18th wedding anniversary today too so we're twins but not lol. I had a great journaling morning, then tidy time, then back in bed to hang out and gosh, it was just so perfect reading your thoughts. I'm turning 39 this year and this stuff is on my mind big time as I'd like to try to do some prevention, if possible. This was so helpful!!! I will def be referring back to this over the year.

Kos, I love with this with all my heart. Should tag this as "in-bed reading." I remembered your anniversary! Is that weird? Oh well. Thinking of you... and your marriage. Whew, happy 39th soon! (I also know your bday is in June. Getting steadily creepier, Jen.) I will [obviously] be thinking of you as you stand at the precipice of 40. She's a wild ride.

So happy birthday first!! And I knowingly nodded along in solidarity at basically everything you wrote. My favorite was experiencing all you wrote WHILST having to have an audience (aka my students). Aging on a stage like that I do not recommend. But I’m glad you’ve embraced it and are celebrating it.
