This past one - 36. Its weird though, because I am really looking forward to my 40's. I mean, my 20's were great for a 20-something and my 30's are all about the kids. I think my 40's will be great because (hopefully!) my husband and I will start to get back some of our us time as the kids get older and more independent.
I'll be 32 in June, and while I still don't feel like I'm "old," I'm starting to get panic-y about my aging reproductive organs. Especially because they suck to begin with.

This year is a big one - 40 - and I'll be honest, I'm all "whoo! what should I do with my bad self?" I could afford to go anywhere, do anything. So in that sense, getting older is awesome. Plus, I got divorced last year so I have no ties to anything. Freedom! Anyway, I already had one big trip this year wherein I learned how to surf and am planning 2 more surfing vacations for the year. Plus at least one girl's getaway. Yay 40!

I turned 39 this past year and this was the one where I was like, wow. I'm gonna be 40, like, soon. ETA - But like PPs, this didn't depress me. I like getting older. Every year gets better and better.
30. It was DS's due date (he was 2 days late), so hitting my 30s and becoming a mom the same week did it. It was more of a "I'm a real grown up now...no more excuses" kind of thing.
Having friends lose their parents and have their own major medical issues has been huge, too.
My mom was a good example of how to not let a number tell you how to feel. Also, trite as it may be, I like the quote, "Don't complain about getting older. It's a privilege denied to many."
I was depressed, wanted to lay in bed all day and have no one bother me. My husband arranged to go zip-lining in the redwoods near us and I wanted no part of that. I'm scared of heights and didn't want to do jack or shit that day. Well he got me up in those trees and we ended up having fun. I think it was just hard thinking that I would never be 'in my 20's' again. I turn 34 next month and I'm not bothered by it at all.
I definitely struggled with 35. My husband made fun of me, but now he's turning 35 this month, and just mentioned the other day how it's really hitting him hard.
Also, my H is 10 years older than me, so I always feel young in comparison. Although truly, he keeps ME young sometimes. The amount of energy he has is...annoying.
