The joy of being in middle age - the forties are beautiful and the fifties are more beautiful

Choice and translation: Ola Diab Publisher: Dar Kalemat Number of pages: 159 The forties began for me when I was in my twenties. It is not related to grandmothers, but it is definitely not young. I always thought that those who reach forty should feel some sadness about reaching this stage of their lives. I did not know that most of them feel the same feeling that was inside my twenties but better and wiser and more confident. I had no way of knowing that most of them would not prefer to go back to their twenties even if you paid them, and that they actually love being in their forties. I never knew how beautiful and peaceful aging can be. You simply stop caring about unimportant things. And most things are not very important.
