Happy Birthday! … and thank you for sharing your thoughts. You have had such a positive impact on my life, I hope you know how much you are appreciated. I hope you have a wonderful celebration with your family.
Congrats!! I’m a bit older than you but have found my 40s to be quite liberating. I move with intent now. I have learned that time is not in my side which has motivated me to take risks and go for it. It’s a blessing to become an Elder and this is the first milestone in many! And on a positive note male bodies don’t have menopause (despite what woke culture might try “sell”) so you have many many more years of having healthy hormones keep you fit and functional if you desire it. Men age like fine wine 🍷 cheers to you!!!!
Also, I don't know if I have communicated this to you before, but THANK YOU for sharing your story with everyone. I see so many parallels with my own experiences. I am not going to pretend like I understand the unique challenges a minority has, but I respect anyone who perseveres and emerges as a better human, which you have obviously done.
That is so lovely. Appreciation of life’s ups and downs can make you whole. I’m happy for you and wish you and your family a great day on your birthday.
Beautifully written. This piece is a keeper. Happy Birthday! (PS - 50 is better than 40)

56 year old here. I have learned FAR more from my mistakes than from my successes.
Welcome to Middle Age!

Happy Born-on Date, brother! Failure means you learn something. Pay the lessons forward...
The stories I tell my GenZers are now pretty funny; they can't believe I am still alive :-D
Thank you
Lol

Happy birthday, and blessings to you and your family in the year ahead!
Thank you
You’re very welcome.
Happiest of birthdays, my dear friend. I hope the next decade eclipses all the blessings this past decade has brought to your life.
People always respond with ‘happy birthday’. ‘Congratulations’ seems much more appropriate. You made it this far.
How about ‘Congratulations, what’s next?’ to recognize you’re accomplishments and show the speakers’ appreciation of what you’ve accomplished?
I sort of asking myself these questions as much as asking you. It’s my son’s 40th too.
