Happy Birthday! I hit the big 4-0 over 6 years ago, and except for the crazy divorce and crap leading up to it, I prefer this decade to the last. Around 40 to 41 is when I finally felt like I was totally comfortable with ME and feeling okay about life. I hope that becomes your experience.
But yeah, never pictured myself getting this old until I hit my 30s at least!
I love rural living, but I would never do it without a functional tribe of some sort to divide out the costs and labor because its too hard without it. In cities (or close by) there are services for things you can't get out in the boonies, and transportation, and lots of housing options.
Ironically, though-- at least on the West Coast, its getting so expensive to live in cities that I'm finding I can ONLY afford a rural small town to live in-- but within town where there is access to some things without need of a pickup truck.

My milestone b-day fell on Father's Day so I couldn't escape it, so I suggested to my family we should go bowling and we had a good time.
Best birthday wishes!
