40 Things to do before I turn 40!

Have you seen the bucket list?
A couple of old men with a list of things to do before they die!
Well I certainly do not plan on dying when I turn 40, but this age seems to be older then I have ever felt before and I want to celebrate it rather then fret over it!
I've decided to have a 40 list to help me through the year and hopefully when I turn 40, I won't have any regrets about my last 40 years on Earth. I also hope to have a greater appreciation for where I've come from and who I've become!
