Having just gone through my own 40th birthday a few days ago, I can definitely empathize with this gal today. I’ve cheered her off and on the past year that she’s been on 43T, and we’ve even commented on each other’s goals now and then. I really should subscribe to her since we 1967 births are a special breed. Here’s my birthday wishes for her for the coming year:

May she find the daily motivation she needs to improve her health through eating less sugar and taking the stairs. May things begin to find their place, and she find the time to not only catch up at work but to also clean the house from top to bottom and organize her library while doing it. And may she find the peace she needs to improve her relationship with her mother, or at least not let her trigger the old issues when they speak.
