By Julia Malacoff September 12, The way we see it, your 40s are your best decade—period. You know who you are and you know what you want. On top of that, you're more established in your career, your rough edges have been smoothed over, and you don't let the small things in life distract you or get you down. And if you find yourself facing singledom—whether or not you want to be—we'd argue that there's a lot to be excited about, even if it doesn't feel that way at first. That's why we've compiled all of the best reasons for being single in your fifth decade, starting with one simple fact: you can begin your days focusing on one and only one thing: you. And for more great advice, don't miss the 40 Ways to Master Your 40s. No one can tell you what to do, when to do it, or that they don't like what you're doing—because it's none of their business. There's something pretty liberating about that. Although you'll probably want to stop overspending on these common things.
I thought I would help you out by giving you a bunch of ideas of things to do this weekend. I have all kinds of thoughts about how to make this, or any other weekend, agreeable — with or without a man: Volunteer in your area helping children, saving the globe, rescuing animals, beautifying your city… tons of people need you. Have a chick-date with a new friend. Go to a department store makeup section after that get a free makeover.
